Ah! Also I hate this. I recognize why private messages within a thread can be confusing, but I really like how private messages on Mastodon are "hallway track" side discussions from regular threads instead of there being a shitty IM app crammed into every social network which everyone just uses to set up IM conversations on better IM apps. It's very good that Mastodon DMs are *pinned to discussions*, and odd that Mastodon is killing virtually the only feature distinguishment they have with bsky.

What happens in Mastodon 5.0 if I, *not* using Mastodon 5.0, reply to someone else's post with a "private mention"? Will they, on Mastodon 5.0, be able to see the private mention is branching off of a thread? Will that fact be hidden? Will it be formatted like a qrt?

Okay so current alternate "tweetdeck-style" frontends on my radar:

- https://masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.org/login.html

Appears to be a fork of Mastodon-Glitch maintained by GTS?

- Self-host "akkoma-fe"

- "nicolium"?
