Turns out, there's a GREAT way to DM built-into CS! Set your toot privacy to only allow people mentioned by @ in the toot to see it. Love it! Thanks @th3j35t3r for the tip!
@nm @th3j35t3r I hadn't even seen that, that's definitely a step up from Twitter!
@malice @th3j35t3r Right? It means MULTI-DM is possible, which you'd think would exist already elsewhere. Definitely useful!
