@cheeaun @scottjenson I've sometimes felt that "private" implies more privacy than is actually included without e2e encryption. Maybe there is a clearer term like "limited" or "restricted"?

[cheeaun@mastodon.social]

@abraham @scottjenson I start to iterate using “private” because both requires login. But I get your point on it being related to privacy stuff. Though we already have “Private mention” here 🙃

[scottjenson@social.coop]

@cheeaun @abraham Private + only mentions really needs to be pulled out of this conversation IMHO. I'd like there to be a more dedicated DM section and stop making "Posts" which implies an audience into something that is more of a message

(that that's likely a bigger change that might take awhile)

@scottjenson @cheeaun @abraham I agree. Having the private mention interface in the same UI as public posts is a huge source of accidental leaks on Mastodon. I realize they only differ in addressing, but it's far too easy to make a mistake.

We have a draft spec for E2EE messaging over ActivityPub in the W3C social community group right now, btw. Implementers wanted!
