Direct Messaging
Private conversations between members only. Say things you'd only say to someone who's been there — no public audience, and you decide who can reach you.
Your inbox lists every conversation you're part of, with unread counts and the latest preview. Each thread shows who you're talking to — branch, department, and verification badge included — and every message is encrypted in transit and at rest. You decide who can message you: everyone, verified members only, mutual connections, or no one.
Encrypted in Transit and at Rest
Visible only to participants — and to Trust & Safety if a message is reported.
Members Only
Only signed-in members can send messages. Block or report anyone directly from the conversation.
You Decide Who Can Reach You
Allow messages from everyone, verified members only, mutual connections, or no one.
Some Conversations Need Privacy.
