Pft @pharesim. Under what sort of heavy rock you've been hidden below?
You are old enough here in steemit to know that we actually did have DM features within steemit interface. I even remember having used this feature to talk with @sykochica plenty of times when she was very active here and also on the original first steemitchat.com website.
Well, unless you don't remember. You never used that feature before. Or you wouldn't classify what I'm talking about as DMs. };)
PS. Don't worry @ew-and-patterns. Let's give to our good friend @pharesim a little more time to refresh his shipwrecked memory. LoL
You are refering to something else. There was https://steemit.chat, which has rebranded to https://steem.chat quite a while ago to show that it's not affiliated with steemit. Those have always been witness projects.
There's never been DMs on steemit.com
Yes, on a second thought I think you are right @pharesim. :)
I have the hunch that that feature I recall we had before within the old steemit UI was 'Notifications' and not DMs.
Yep, there was a time when we didn't need SteemWorld, GinaBot or any of those external Discord/Python bots to know who the hell interacted with us in our content. };)
Cheers!!
