In Mastodon 4.2.0, "direct messages" has been renamed to "private mention". I think this new name is more clear, because on Mastodon messages are in reality simple mentions.
What do you think about use this new name in TWBlue?
Thanks.

Hi, I think it's great. It is more clear for everyone at the end. I'm currently busy but as soon as I can have some free time I plan to perform some interesting updates to the project. Will keep this open so I won't forget to rename the buffer.

Personally, I think direct message is is more clear. A user will instantly understand what it means.

I think if mastodon starts using private mentions is just a matter of time other clients start to do the same. I think we should try to follow the platform as best as possible so people would be less confused if they have to use Mastodon clients in other operating systems (such as mobile) or web. Still would be a good idea to wait a little bit to see how Mastodon users react to this change, then we might have a good idea in what to do.
