I really dislike how Mastodon handles direct messages, as if there were just any other post with replies.
Twitter does this much better. Direct messages are grouped by person, as they should be. On Mastodon, though, it’s difficult to see your message history with a person, and it’s always unclear whether you should reply to an old, possibly unrelated direct message or start a new “thread”, which is more difficult than it should be.
