@raghav_bhan@Deepsealioness you can, just use the envelope button so only the people see . You will have three options, I am using public now, will share a DM right after this.
@raghav_bhan@Deepsealioness You can obviously DM, just write a new toot mentioning the user and set the privacy setting to you and the person/persons you are mentioning. Yes there is added bonus of mentioning multiple users and it will all stay private to that clique.
