So Seth Abramson is one of the sloppiest public thinkers I have ever encountered, who circa 2016 helped invent the rhetorical style of the buckle-up-for-some-politics Twitter mega-thread. He has advised people who listen to him that they should avoid "Mastodon" (he means the Fediverse I think).

@powerllama @darius “anonymous overlords” — what kind of creepy server are they on?

That said I do think it could be more clear that DMs are like putting a note on a coworker’s office door— not like sending an encrypted email. Though who ever used twitter dms for anything sensitive anyway?
