They're called DMs not PMs

? Did you mean that the other way around? And if you did... forgive me, I don't really use Mastodon. I was never much of a twitter fan. I don't really like how all of my likes are public (although I guess I have had to get used to that with Lemmy).

    No. They're direct. They're not private.

    Ah, I see. So it's the same mistake that Lemmy users make when thinking that Upvotes/Downvotes aren't public.

    It sounds like DMs on Mastodon are public, but are commonly mistaken to be private then?
