Anyone figured out how to send a Direct Message that doesn't get published?

@CatherineRussell2 I have just googled it, it can be done, but sorry not got time to explain now before shooting out door for exercise class.

@CatherineRussell2 Before you send DMs on here, there apparently are a couple of things to be aware of (which I only learned about yesterday):
- server admins can view all of their server users' DMs
- if you @ a third user in a DM convo, that user is added to your DM conversation nvnad can see it all
I haven’t verified that information myself but trust the source, so maybe keep that in mind.

@CatherineRussell2 Remember DM's are not 100% private and can be read by the site admin - so be careful what you share!

@CatherineRussell2 but if you go to a persons page on a browser, you can hit the 3 little dots next to the bell beside their profile pic and chose Direct message from the option there.

@CatherineRussell2 Thanks for asking this. I was wondering.

@CatherineRussell2 I like the little envelope icon that appears so you know it’s a DM, but I wish it were in a separate area.
