But at least @Gargron did *not* do what BlueSky have done, and implement a totally centralised system where every DM runs through mastodon.social. He made Mastodon Direct posts decentralised, like any other kind of post.

After a few teething problems (eg devs of other fediverse software not realising they existed and displaying them as public message), we ended up with a system Chistine describes as

"about as private as [unencrypted] email."

This is already streets ahead of BS DMs.
