   Apparently Frendica DMs don't really work properly with Mastadon and if you use the "Direct" privacy setting in a reply it just posts it as Public. Whoops. That'll learn me for not testing things safely when unsure.

     Wow, we have to quickly remove the DM feature for Friendica accounts.

     This is a DM reply with a Friendica account.

     @gbraad @apps Yeah. This account is really only pseudo-anon as google will cough up my real identity associated with this handle if you dig enough but I still wasn't thrilled to see my firstname-lastname email address accidentally posted in the clear in a reply for however long it took for the deletion to fully propagate across the Fediverse. lol

     @mnemonicoverload it might still be something of interest to Tom at @apps. An error/note might be an option

     I mostly just use the web interface on friendica (private account) so this might have saved me from embarrassment

     @gbraad The issue of Frendica DMs not being interoperable with Mastodon is a known one. The direct reply thing was mostly me misunderstanding how Fedilab for Andriod would respond if I tried to do something that was supported on Mastodon but not on Frendica. I expected it would produce an error message if I tried doing something unsupported rather than just silently degrade privacy. That's a bad default.

     While we deeply agree that it is an important mistake, we just discovered it. That means when posting with the privacy "direct", the Friendica api accepts it without error and it replaces it with a public visibility.
     We warned our Friendica users and we will disable the private visibility for Friendica.

     Yup, everything as public as public is.
     
     I do much enjoy having the entire thread available for me to review/quote/cite when I offer reply posts, but I'm currently using a #Pleroma account so not sure how to enable "quote posts" in Fedilab for that.
     
     Any pointers, suggestions?

     Have you tried extra features in Settings?
