I'm really confused by how 'DMs' work on #Sharkey:
1) If I mention the person I'd like to DM, and set the 'Public' post to Direct, it wouldn't add that person as a Recipient automatically (so the Recipient would be none): Would the person I mentioned receive it? (I assume not)
2) If my Direct post (message) has no one mentioned, and only add the recipient as the Recipient: Would the person I added as recipient, but not mentioned, receive it? (the UI seems to imply, not, since it doesn't show who the Recipient is this way, once it's sent)
3) To send a DM to someone, do I have to BOTH add the recipient as a Recipient, and also mention them in said Direct post? <- cos I know this works, just feels... redundant. -

DMs in the fediverse seem like such a hack. If I am in a DM it shouldn’t matter whom I mention, or should never leave the Two of us.
