Smithereen fixes the DM UX thing by actually treating direct messages as something entirely separate from posts. Different UIs, dedicated inbox and outbox pages, a button in each profile to send a message, addressing in a separate field like in an email client instead of mentions. I don't even allow setting per-post visibility on my side (but I do store and enforce it for incoming posts/comments)
