Oooh, I see new clearer labeling has dropped for private mentions here on mastodon.social. This is good.

manysnows,

@mmasnick is this like a DM on Twitter and IG? (Sorry, still leaning to navigate my way here )

@manysnows yeah. Some instances call them DMs. But they work a little different. It's technically "mentioned accounts only" but that's confusing too.

manysnows,

@mmasnick Thank you, I appreciate it.

jbaggs,

@mmasnick I'm sorry but "Private Mention" is a ridiculously ambiguous term. I realize the idea is to differentiate it from what people expect from "Direct Message" but it's somehow worse. Private in what context, and if it is private, who am I mentioning it too?

@mmasnick Yeah I noticed that the other day, but it's inconsistent? I think my first private mention will show up in my timeline looking kinda like a regular post (but no RT icon available) but the REPLY and any further replies shows up with the purple and bold text...so still some moments of ULP! around the first one
