   When Twitter was really good, it was a place that facilitated connections.

   Often, the key moments in life occur because of “who you know” and “who knows you.”

   This still happens for me on Twitter, but not nearly as much.

   Mastodon has replaced some of this, but DMs are crucial for relationship building (and that’s missing here).

     Being able to reach out to someone you’ve met in the public square, privately, feels like it’s missing here.

     A DM is it’s own kind of thing that should be elevated in the UI/UX.

     Having a separate area for DMs, ensuring they’re not publicly exposed, and making them encrypted would all improve the experience.
