May be it is answered already few times but when using WordPress with ActivityPub, Friends, and few related extras, I don't get how exactly I would write post as private mention/direct message? How to send a direct message to someone with such setup?
Yes I know I better use some dedicated software like Briar or SimpleX Chat for stuff like this, but what I want to sign up this setup to add someone behind bridgy fed? As I remember, this done by sending a direct mention to Bridgy Fed with a handle?

Well this is how I can use the not so elegant flow with Federated Reply widget but it somehow does not apply to the content from the Feed when I click “Reblog” from the Friends feed… May be it should be done automatically? (adding of Federated Reply block with URL pointing to the post I am replying to)?

@alex-kirk what do you think?
