@scottjenson I think all of these ideas stem from how, on every other platform, DMs are a fundamentally different "thing" than posts. I worry that a dedicated interface and separate notifications reinforce that expectation away from the technical reality. They make private mentions look more like DMs, but they still don't act like it. So then when those posts aren't encrypted, or you tag someone and they get a notification about it, you're even more surprised.
