One Nice Thing™ that a Wonkodon.com account will give you is a way to send and receive direct messages from other wonkers by their (guessing here) Wonkette handle. This allows us to contact each other without revealing personal email addresses.
@SchrodingersCat Click the three dots (on desktop) next to a post and select "send direct message". Not sure about other apps, but I don't see a DM option in Tusky.
@MateodelSol Thanks!
