Now I've got Chat 💬 what do I do with Personal Messages?

I would say PMs are for paragraphs. DMs are for short lines of high fidelity communication.

This very reply fits better in a PM than a DM. The litmus test is

  1. This includes multiple paragraphs
  2. This is async-first type of communication.
  3. It has a proper “topic”

How are tricks Nathan?

Bottles are better cause

  1. they are big
  2. they are made of glass

Let’s discuss
