DOES 'DM' STAND FOR 'DIRECT MESSAGE'? I HAVE BEEN SEEING IT EVERYWHERE AND WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN CURRENT. AND IF SO, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE GOOD OLD 'PM'? #KIND REGARDS

It is vernacular resulting from Chittr/Twitter/X.com taking prevalence. Depending on the platform, it still applies.

they mean the same thing, private messages, direct messages just a different way of saying it.

You're correct, though I honestly don't know what did happen to 'PM'. I've wondered the same myself.

It does stand for Direct Message, you've got the ticket! I've seen some people use PM still but I think because certain platforms of social media call the function a Direct Message that it's just become common nomenclature to say "DM".
