I'll have you all know that changing my settings to only receive messages from subscribers has helped a lot, and I suggest you do the same if you haven't yet.

I think what happened was they asked some Substackers: "Would you like us to introduce DMs?"

And they said: "100% yes!"

Because they thought they said: "Would you like us to introduce per diems?" Haha... 😎

You guys are getting DMs? In my experience with discord people who open with just 'hey' are either bots or scammers, so I'd shut the door on those people instantly. Shame that DMs have become such an annoying feature for people.

I always appreciate a good internet etiquette post. I may just respond to certain DMs with a link to this...

I thought about sending you a DM that said 'Hey' to test the annoyance theory, but I couldn't find the DM button.. Instructions unclear.

I can't wait for the day I'm popular enough for people to DM me asking for my non-existent OnlyFans.

Oh I haven't gotten a single DM since it opened. What am I doing wrong??
