Speaking for myself, I’ve met three or four people on BlueSky I’d like to have a private communication channel for. I didn’t know them previously.

- Retr0id 3y agoHN doesn't have DMs either, but we usually figure things out one way or another (e.g. contact info in bio)
- weinzierl 3y agoOnly if you are willing to publish contact info in your profile. I am much more willing to open my DMs than doing that. I realize that open DMs are not an option for high profile accounts, but for most people probably safer than publishing their email or - god forbid - their phone number.
- hellojesus 3y agoAre there user profiles on Bluesky? You could make an email account just for your Bluesky dms and then write some random string on your profile and auto delete any emails that don't include that string as a sort of filter against spam. You could also post a public key there so you can have encrypted comms al la old school pgp.
- weinzierl 3y agoThe email solution I use has no lightweight account creation and regardless, I like to keep my contact surface small and additional email addresses are detrimental to that. I was happy with DMs on Twitter and I wish Bluesky had them, that's all.
