On Mastodon the so called "Direct messages" are *actually* messages where the privacy setting is "visable for mentioned users only", i.e. users you "@"'

Now let's follow that to it's logical conclusion shall we… what if you want to talk to someone in private about a third person?

Do NOT "@" the person you want to talk about or guess what… you are talking to them as well!!! 😱

💡 If you write out their username without the first @, e.g "ruari@velocipederider.com" that OK.

@Big_Diggity @servant @mordoc Lol that makes it sound like your wife isn't fun the way you said that

The Devil might be after me, but so is God and I know who is more powerful

@pavot Geopard looks like it might maybe work well, though it is lacking in some basic features.

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org Cool, tell us how it goes!

@meldrian @jmechner Yeah you shouldn't abuse the hashtag system like that: many of the hashtags you chose are not good ways to categorize your post. If I search # Twitter or # journal this post won't really be relevant or helpful.

Can I ask a favour?

I'm really grateful to be recommended as a follow, but can you also mention the website (fedi.tips) when you do so?

At the moment getting a lot of questions which are answered on the site, and it's difficult to keep up with every question. I'm happy to keep answering, but also afraid I'll miss someone's question.

If they know about the site from the beginning, they will have a chance of finding the answers themselves if I do miss their question.

Thanks 🙏

@roipoussiere I like to explain the Fediverse's federation by using email as an example.

The 'House in The Hollow' isn't just about the mysterious Manor House.

Surrounding the Manor is a dark woodland called 'Braebrook Forest'.

Explore the woodland to discover the lost Manor House.

@servant @Big_Diggity I like Twenty Øne Piløts, Half•Alive, TobyMac, and videogame music, often 8-bit-era chiptune.
