      Direct message, basically when you message someone privately.

      Sad thing is, I knew the meaning of DM, but had to check what the actual abbreviation was…

        Lowkey, we never should have switched from ‘private message’ to ‘direct message’. I feel like the switch in terminology has softened the public opinion towards corps reading your mail. Private messages should be private.
