I mean… I come from the forum scene and they were always called PMs, as in Private Message. What in the hell does DM stand for and when did things change from people calling them PMs to DMs.

    I prefer the terms DM, especially if the messaging system doesn’t rely on E2EE. If the server admins can read it, then it’s not private.

      Well, yes that is true, but still, it’s not public either.

      I might have to change my lingo to using DM instead of PM cuz some people don’t actually know what I’m talking about.
