When exactly did "PM" become "DM" anyway? It feels weird calling them 'direct messages' and not 'private messages'
@Felthry Some services called them one, others called them the other, users from both converged onto multiple platforms and the terms have become largely interchangeable I guess.
We should totally coin our own phrase for them and make it even more confusing. We could call them CM's for confidential messages! Then we'll have CM, DM and PM which are all actually just IMs(™).
@Felthry Oooh. PA is extra confusing given its existing use for Public Address, the exact opposite of a PM/CM/DM/IM™.
@Felthry i mean, technically the server admin could see them so there's been a push to use DM to clarify to people that it isnt private
it doesn't really work but eh
