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.

      Twitter is where it started.

      And every ‘hip’ person started talking about sliding into someone’s DM and it became the default application.

      PM is still used in professional settings sometimes.

        I somehow managed to read “default” as “segfault.”

        … I may have spent too much time debugging annoying shit today
