"DM" still feels so wrong. How the heck did that take over from "PM"

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.world 49 points 2 years ago (1 children)

direct messages aren’t private :)

[–] survivalmachine@beehaw.org 43 points 2 years ago

Private Message (PM) was common until Twitter and Instagram came around, where the platforms did not want to get in trouble for implying that your messages were "Private" in any way, so the renamed them "Direct Messages". Reddit and Lemmy make user-to-user messages easily accessible by admins, so DM is appropriate here.

it's just more... direct

I think it started when Twitter became popular? That's just the term they used. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

I never understood why people want boob pics to their inbox. Just go on a boob pic community, it's going to be the same people sending them that post them freely.

I have some suspicions the kitty one is a little less wholesome considering their origins

Do those usernames ever work? DMing pics of anything sounds like too much effort for it to happen often.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Extremely rarely.

I think I remember trying in lemmy and it working >u< but being so girly probably had an effect :p

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

Back on R*ddit (with the same username), I actually got a PM of someone's guitar cabinet speakers. None of them were Vintage 30s, but some other guitar speakers that they mounted in their speaker cabinet. It was very much appreciated.

Although I prefer Vintage 30s, I strongly encourage any and/or all of you to PM me any guitar speakers you have. But, I still live in hope that someday, someone might PM me Vintage 30s...
