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

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] lyth@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

you don't have one of those DM_ME_(thing) usernames

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

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.

prolly your breath. or maybe youre clicking too hard... that mouse button doesnt require force.

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

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Gimme a reason to do it?
This aint OnlyFans.

[-] 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 2 points 11 months ago

Shameless ;)

there's pretty much no random dm'ing but you could try to pretend an program failed by spamming for example: Ω
