   DIRECT MESSSAGES

   Direct Messages on Mastodon are probably one of the most confusing things for new users as they don't really work in the same way as on other platforms. They are a great way to continue a conversation between people, but please be aware that they are not encrypted etc and so should not be used for confidential information etc.

   I have done my best in this video guide to explain what they are in just a few minutes. I cover how they work as well as the ways you can initiate and continue them.
