!Friendica Support How does permission handling in Friendica work while responding to Mastodon comments via some Mastodon app? Personal experience: Wanted to send a private response, chose "direct message" in #fedilab, sent - to figure out the response seemed publicly visible in a private browser tab without being logged into Friendica? Am I too stupid or is this a side-effect of the known issues in changing visibility in threads? It feels pretty ... dangerous matter how. 😶
I happened to see this bug when checking the GitHub page earlier today: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/12535

Looks like a known bug, and yeah, I'd be careful about sending private replies on Friendica posts until it's fixed... maybe just send a normal DM to the author with a re: link/quote?
