Trying to get a sense of how many DMs are sent here vs the number of posts. :) I have a suspicion there are a lot more DMs sent here than posts made, but curious whether that's accurate!

    Sometimes I only private message if someone asks if they can dm or sometimes I dm someone to check in with them too just to make sure they are feeling okay <3
    Just a person who likes pop culture and films

    I only really use PMs on here if someone asks if they can PM, or if like Amy said I want to check in with them and I don’t speak to them off the boards. So less than I post. That’s not counting PMs to the mix.

    Oh and if someone PMs me I will PM back.

    Appreciate your perspective @independent_! Your response made me realise a lot of people probably DM people they meet here on other platforms... 🤔
