Description

A new interface to shows Direct Message should be implemented. The DM timeline should not be displayed as a timeline but like a modern chat app, with a list of recipients that open the full discussion between the user and the recipient.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Direct Message timeline and its recipient or discussion views in the Social app. Compare the current flow with the requested chat-app behavior; done would mean recipients open a full conversation instead of showing messages as one timeline, with the expected interaction confirmed by maintainers.
