Is there a way to message a user?

I have not seen an option so replying to a thread seems to be the only way that I can tell.

When you click on a user name (at least in the web version), you land on that user's profile and there's a button "Send message" to write privately.

Please note however that the admins of the instances will have access to theses messages, they are not encrypted.

Do note that you can't currently message users on other instances on kbin. The button will still be there, but it will bring you back to the homepage. I believe Ernest said something about it being "unimplemented," so I'm assuming cross-instance messaging will happen someday, but is probably not a high priority at the moment.

If using KES, check General > Add mail iconto append an icon/label next to a username to directly message them. (If on the same intance as you)
