The Direct Messages feature requires a lot of careful consideration to prevent abuse.
This is why you will only be able to message accounts that follow you if your account has less than X followers or is younger than 1 year old.
Don’t worry if you have less than X followers, but have more than XX cumulative likes across your videos, you will bypass this restriction.
Incoming and outgoing messages will be scanned for known spam urls before processing.

Roadmap 2026 — Charting the stars of the open social web
The 2026 roadmap focuses on making WordPress easier to discover and interact with across the Fediverse. Key areas include better search and recommendations through FASP support, Starter Packs to help users find communities, a more interactive Reader with reactions and replies, direct messages, and client-to-server APIs. Alongside these, we’ll continue improving interoperability, long-form publishing, and overall federation features.https://activitypub.blog/2026/02/11/roadmap-2026-charting-the-stars-of-the-open-social-web/

DIRECT MESSAGING
DMs on Mastodon work differently than on other platforms.
Graham Cluley, a well-respected British security blogger with a sharp sense of humor (and host of the Smashing Security podcast) has this to say:
“Imagine you are having a direct message conversation with someone on Mastodon about a sensitive subject.
Maybe George and Paul are bantering via direct message on Mastodon, and one of them says “I’ll tell you who’s a twit. That bloody @Ringo”
Well, because @Ringo has been mentioned in the chat, he now sees a copy of the message too. Ouch, that’s awkward.
This would be particularly dangerous if you were communicating with another Mastodon user to report abusive behaviour. Suddenly your abuser knows you are complaining about them.
Email doesn’t work like that. Twitter direct messages don’t work like that.
(Sorry Ringo for using your name in this example, Peace and Love man!)”
https://grahamcluley.com/mastodon-what-you-need-to-know-for-your-security-and-privacy/
Marcus Hutchins pointed out -- in his excellent overview “A Twitter User's Guide to Mastodon”:
“Something to also be wary of is similar to how Twitter staff can read your DMs, so can Mastodon instance staff. If you send a DM to someone on another instance, both the staff on the sending and receiving instance could read your message if they wanted to. Just like on any social media platform, I do not advise using DMs to share sensitive information. Use DMs for normal discussions, or exchanging contacts. Any sensitive information should be sent via an End-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Wire.”
[Note: Some concern around Whatsapp and Telegram has been raised. Perhaps it would be best to dig into the details online, and choose your private messaging app with care.]
