ok how do i DM. or email. or write a polite letter. i want to get the attention of @eevee and ask how attached they are to their handle. i feel like a boomer having a nine-letter username on here already. i can offer *checks pockets* two dollars in change and a respectable piece of lint

in reply to @lexyeevee's post:
I don't think mentions in posts notify people, but mentions in comments might. We don't have DMs yet, we might never? But people are rallying behind a 'business card' feature where you can put contact info up or send it to others. Also, that user seems inactive so they might be not very attached but on the flip side hard to get a hold of
+1 to this stuff - the one way to get someones attention directly is just to go out there and interact with their stuff afaik. ah well
yeahh but if they're not using the website then a notification won't do much :( is there nothing i can do that will incidentally fire off an email
If we spread the post around, we might be able to get the attention of someone who knows them and/or what they go by on other sites
heck yeah eight-letter username gang
(I actually had ketsuban on Twitter at one point, thought I needed to get off soshul meejuh and deleted it. By the time I went to sign up again it was taken. Sadge.)
currently, practically impossible
cohost says it's by design and there's partly good arguments but right now it just kinda makes it hard to talk to people
There are no DMs, and staff declined to implement it. https://help.antisoftware.club/support/discussions/topics/62000183158/page/2?url_locale=
Currently, @'ing someone does not send a notification. There are plans around this area, like the asks system, which has the planned tag. https://help.antisoftware.club/support/discussions/topics/62000183164
Currently cohost sends emails for... basically nothing, I think.
There's a certain element of... "please spend time off our website and contact through other mediums" to a lack of DM function, if the other comments are anything to go by. Which in a way I can kinda respect, but also that does make finding out how to contact through other means a bit finickier.
i suspect it's more that they don't want to deal with the expectation of DMs and privacy, or (worse) the possible interest that three-letter agencies might have in someone's DMs
Yeah my second thought was encryption/privacy on the part of cohost. For one, Mastodon's DMs aren't even private. They're basically standard (timeline) posts that are simply only viewable by the mentioned users. (And admins.) ... okay that sort of sounds like they're private but they're like, logistically different?
I was annoyed to find that I joined too late to grab @kit, but then it turned out that the person who registered it is someone I've met irl so I can't be mad about it
This is why I grabbed @fluffy on both twitter and cohost as soon as I was able to just in case they became popular sites. also a few Mastodon instances, some of which are even still around.
i even got an early access invite to cohost but then forgot to use it rrrffghh
