I’ve recently received a DM and replied to a DM that looked like it was from an individual, but unknown to me until after I had replied … a group was reading the exchange (the view counter went crazy and OP got some likes).
As the person on the receiving end of such a pseudo 1:1 exchange it seems underhand.
Am I wrong?
Should the recipient be given some indication it isn’t really 1:1 and of who will be able to read the exchange?
Can you share a Screenshot? As after a DM is created fir example a group could be added or was added during the creation.
A group message will often have it’s own mailbox so id created in Group mailbox could be also directed to a specific user with group included.

Lots of existing discussion on this subject over the years:
