Periodic reminder that the Mastodon "Private Mention" mechanism is a dumpster fire of dangerously insecure and counterintuitive design. Among other things, it copies your message to anyone mentioned in the body, not merely listed at the start, as you might expect.

You also can't fully turn it off (there's just a setting that merely silently ignores all incoming messages, with no failure indication to the sender).
