As the community grows, please remember:
Not everyone is comfortable receiving private DMs from strangers right away.
A respectful approach is usually:
π Engage with someone publicly first
π Comment on posts
π Have a few conversations
π Then ask if theyβd be comfortable chatting privately
Something simple like:βHey, would you mind if I sent you a DM sometime?β goes a long way.
This helps people feel safe, respected, and more comfortable connecting.
We want this community to feel:
β welcoming
β respectful
β genuine
β pressure-free
Real connections are built through comfort and trust, not rushing π
Thanks Everyone!
