Why do people call it DM? - eviltoast

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 ran into a person the other day, I wrote “I’ll PM you” and he replied “What is PM 🤨” 🤷. They may be young or just a late internet adopter, but still, that was just a sign for me that I should probably adopt the new DM lingo, as some people just don’t understand what I’m talking about.
