Clarification question: Why would you expect somebody to DM you?

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah hell, I don't even read my inbox.

DM_Me_Your_DMs

That would be interesting here, but it would make a sociology dissertation (in a bad way) on Reddit.

I think I behaved basically the same there and here, but the DMs I get here are all: the post we were discussing got removed, here’s the last thing I wanted to say. On Reddit, I got those, plus occasional death and doxxing threats, sometimes from a person who was pretending to have a civil conversation with me in a comments section at the same time they’re messaging me threats.

To be frank I never felt the need to DM anyone here or on Reddit, I could live without this feature altogether

[–] stealth_cookies@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

I've found it useful in the rare case that I've posted some project and someone wants to use it and has a question or something after the main thread is locked. I've had a few people reach out just to thank me for solving their problem which is always nice.

A mouse is like a clitoris. Gentler is more-er

[–] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Because you need to ask,

Take an username like PM_Me_your_shit and you'd get some surprises :)

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Shameless ;)
