Direct Messages No Longer

What is your opinion on direct messages going away?

My personally I don’t really get DM’s but from unwanted men so I’m fine with it.

I feel they don’t have to bring it back.

This was the most ANNOYING feature Lemon8 had. I’m happy that there is an option to disable but who really needs to personally message someone on here fr? I NEVER responded before; it was either a “sugar daddy” or someone who’s messaging me about something that they could’ve googled. 🫠 #tech

How do you feel about Direct Messaging?
I honestly thought I’d like this because there’s no way to really communicate one on one with good people you find on here but once I started seeing the overload of men and I’m talking about the ones that are on here trying to date…no longer likes this. #directmessages #dm #fyp #foryou
