Can we send private messages on devrant?

We cannot. We have no secrets in this big happy family, we publicly discuss private matters.

No.

That's kinda a pain for any small scale site as then that's another channel to monitor for spam... and some of the less pleasant stuff that happens on social medial (stalking, harassing...).

Yes. Just create an account on discord and share your id with whomever you want to DM.

Yes. Just post your password.

No

I declare this to be the private messages thread!

Everyone just @ whomever you want to talk to.

Everyone else if your name isn't in the @ ... ignore it please.

do you wanna hit on someone? ask in public as in real life

@N00bPancakes You’re still in for tonight’s gay gangbang? /private

@electrineer I hear this highlight bot is smart enough to recognize passwords in messages and mask them up for others, while still visible for you. Saves you from accidentally exposing your passwords to the public!

Here's an example:

@highlight
my facebook password is *************

The tag system works for this:

private:@<username>

Only the username will see it.

@webapp I told you, you need to practice some basic hygiene before I ever do that again, and get that that... whatever it is looked at by a doctor, that ain't right.... /private

@N00bPancakes I thought you said you liked it dirty? 😟 /private

Yes, you have to press Alt + F4.
Oh wait, we're on mobile...

"Let's use this thread for private messages!"

*DevRant users immediately demonstrate why DevRant shouldn't have DMs.*

@EmberQuill of course! @N00bPancakes gave the explanation in the beginning of this thread, and now we’re completing it with examples... 🤷‍♂️

@EmberQuill @rutee07 already uses devrant for privates messaging.

Please no

🅿️enis

Never and shouldn’t

@Linux Have you found the gay train?

@netikras let's see if this works

@highlight
My password is: hunter12

@Linux it was just a question

I don't understand why you guy are having ugly thoughts

@Afrographics throwing that answer back to you to the studio, jim

@Afrographics DM's would require a block or invite only system, plus it could take away from the core experience if that grew into a "group chat". This place works by being open, you can always @mention someone and start a conversation with them, like...

@Jilano how's the day going?
Or
@AlecX04 what's new man?
Or
@F1973 how's that heat wave bro?
Or
@Root how goes your new acquisition, you about ready to open those doors?
Or even
@Rutee07 what's the pan for tonight, I'm feeling lonely 😔

@C0D4 We just barely signed the agreement! Closing is a month away, and that is barely enough time.

@Rutee07 I’m still fighting to find enough time to fight with getting Minecraft working 😭

@F1973 wake up

@Afrographics This has been suggested many times. It might happen, but probably not.

@digitaldina Are you back yet? 🙁

@C0D4 :shrug: worked on my machine... :)

@C0D4 😉

@Root I had to change it from the last time I was exposed 😅

@highlight where the hell is the relation with the rant?

@C0D4 Notation that you create a vacuum.

@highlight Orphaned FK.

@highlight what are you doing?

So. Despite all the sexual innuendo, house buying and so on.

I'm slightly drunk and I did marvelous fish n chips and garlic dip.

Might start singing: "Nimm mich jetzt auch wenn ich stinke...."

@IntrusionCM I just fought with children and talkative, annoying adults all day. 😡

@Root That's why I'm drunk. And that's why I made fish n chips.

Far too many meetings, math and "Well ok, I'm gonna rewire the production systems during worktime...".

Garlic is love. :)

@IntrusionCM Only if there’s enough that it’s fish/shrimp/chicken/etc. flavored garlic. 💛

@Root My Point. :)

And a Kellerbier... Eh cellar beer? Unfiltered.

*love*

@IntrusionCM Rum. 🤷🏻‍♀️
(or a good whiskey)

What are you planning to do ma dude? If it's cringy I want to see it. I still cringe to this day the day someone simped on @root lol. Each time I think on it I cringe soo hard. oasfdnldsai fnd PMG the cringe wtf what was that dude thinking, how do you even simp on an avatar ewewone;a ijoij a;oj hell no.

@Bybit260 😂

You get used to it happening after a few years.

@Nanos monitored maybe not all, but dealing with inappropriate messages yes.

@AkshayTolwani

Exchange PGP keys and send encrypted messages in rants

@C0D4 "Not gonna lie, I'm hurting in here!" :D

I'm just wondering who added days to this already too long week. I'm suspecting @Root for now. She probably needed more time away from children tantrums and it backfired.

@010001111

Nooo?

@Jilano I am a fairy 🤷🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️. I’d suspect me, too.
