@darch@twtxt.net That’s okay 🤗 – But try not to think of this as a “private messaging”, that’s not actually the use-case. The use-case is as simple as this:
My family and I were out at a local museum one weekend and we took some family pictures we wanted to share with our extended family. We had no way of doing this. But my old man @off_grid_living@twtxt.net is on Yarn.socail, as is his wife, as well as my sister, my wife’s sister and a few other close friends/family. It made sense at the time to think about a way to just post the images on our Yarn.social account but only targeting specific folks.
This is the primary use-case and one that I fully expect to become more common
as the whole point of (in my opinion) be being able to share things online
in both public and private is to do so easily.
I think the capability and choice should be there.
I should be able to throw an image up of my kids in a “Private Feed”
and being rest assured that only a certain subset of folks can actually view this.
That’s the point. 🤗
