Comment on Nicole has taken a dark turn

I’m strongly in favor of removing DMs on all platforms and asking users to add direct contact info to their user profiles. Email, chat apps, whatever.
Fuck that; I don’t want to give out any more personal info than I have to. Lemmy just needs to implement a functional spam filter.
Remove PMs, and comment threads will just be clogged with people having one on one conversations. There’s gotta be a better way.

You don’t have to.

I don’t see that happening, personally.
But I want to be able to PM, and I don’t want to have to use a 3rd party service that not every Lemmy user will use to be able to do so.
I agree with you (and also somewhat with the other people, too)
I want to keep some accounts completely separate from my other accounts, and also don’t want to set up a whole other set of accounts to keep them separate
E.g., on Reddit I would keep certain conversations on reddit only (but used a 3rd party app mostly so I never saw the chats, just dm/pms)
Yeah if someone needs to reach me via mastodon/lemmy/etc…they can take their time to use other platforms. DMs without any spam detection is a recipe for disaster. As is the case for any messaging in the last 30 years.

@Ulrich Yeah, but then you'll have normies complain like where are the DMs? where are the DMs?
Just like it was on Mastodon where DMs were actually a thing, but were not something so straightforward (usually just create a regular post with only the person that you wanted to talk with tagged in there).
The enshitification is so damn real.
