I'm not sure how I feel about DMs. I was initially against them but I'll wait and see.
But please don't advise people to DM anyone just to say 'hello'. It's not acceptable to many of us and it's one of the reasons so many have said 'no' to Substack DMs.
Please only use them if there's a reason beyond using comments or emails, which we all have.
FINALLY! A much needed feature to connect and reach out to other writers. This should have been on top of the list 😄. And great that writers have the freedom to turn off messaging. I welcome collaborations so if you have an awesome idea for a collab then feel free to reach out. And charging for DM's is brilliant idea too! Awesome.
Question for Substack, are DM's encrypted or can Substack team read them, like Elon Musk? 😂
Can substack make it easier for writers to recommend other substacks? For example, any time someone is on another’s substack page there should be a button somewhere to easy recommend the substack in my opinion
Good job rolling this out with an “off” switch. Is there a plan for fine-tuning later so DM’s can be “off” except for specified people (e.g. collaborators)?
Can these be turned off entirely? I have zero need for this and worry it will hurt my productivity and provide a way to be harassed and abused.
Can’t wait to slide into all these DMs
Substack really does listen! This is one feature a lot of people were shouting for and Substack made it happen. Fair play 👏👏
If you don’t want to use it, turn it off - ticks boxes for everyone.

Never have I needed this feature more than right now…unless it came out yesterday…then that would’ve been a better time. But today. Today is good too!

Pretty neat!
Awesome. Can I charge for DMs? 🤠
This is awesome. I have so many chats via DM on other platforms + email - this will make for a much better experience for all
Continued improvements to this platform. Constant growth. 👏
Solid upgrade! Thx Substack.

Yesssssss

I don’t want this. It will make it like every other social media platform.
Significant improvements to author collaboration. Nice!
