   Basically impossible to figure out in the notifications column here now if a post is a reply or DM and what on earth its visibility is. Why is there a "quiet public" type post represented by a... Sleep??? icon? What.

     Serious question: Has anybody doing Mastodon gGmbH development been involved in testing their product with actual new users for feedback?

     "How can we both confuse and terrify new users" - Mastodon v4.3.0 devs, probably

     Sometimes a reply is a "reply" in the notifications column, except for when it's an "@" which traditionally is a DM, but now isn't a DM. Which is a massive risk of people replying with private shit into what is actually a "followers only" post.
     Truly, Mastodon is getting easier to use for newcomers 🙄
