I just saw this on Mastodon and was about to post it here. 😄

Pretty cool idea. Though I'm not looking forward to trying to convince my friends to switch to yet another new platform. 😂

Im mainly looking forward to it replacing the “DMs” of mastodon and lemmy.

I've not been on either platform long enough to use the DMs, but this is a good point.

After all, DMs aren't actually private on either platform, as far as I'm aware.

"Private" is not really a binary concept.

They're "private" in the sense that no one can see them other than the participants and the server admin (if they really wanted to).

They're not private in the sense that they can be hacked and leaked, or subpoenaed.
