@Gargron @charlag hm. i'd say my expectations are that dms should work like twitter / instagram / any other website... i understand some people want full e2ee everywhere but a lot of people also *don't* want that.

the main thing i'm concerned about though is that direct posts are a legitimately good and useful feature in the middle of threads, and leaving a direct reply within a specific context is one of the killer features of fedi. it's why the current "conversations" are so awkward...
