@dmian @scottjenson Yes, and this is only top of mind because now Spotify just added DMs. It's just a path to exactly what you explained. AP and Mastodon should stick to just micro blogging and leave private conversations to other options.
Instead, I'd prefer Mastodon add more options to the "Links" section instead of just 4 so I can offer folks a few ways to get in touch with me privately.
@gabek Yeah I definitely understand that. I guess I'm not so private about my email address so I don't mind exchanging it publicly, but then I definitely don't need fully encrypted private messages. Way better options to use for that.
@scottjenson I was actually just thinking about why private mentions are even needed when there are other options like email for private and sensitive discussions between folks. I guess I never truly understand why they are needed in a public social network in the first place? Just leftover from Twitter precedent?
