Direct Messages (often abbreviated as DMs, and sometimes called Private Messages or PMs) are a type of text channel between two specific users. They are not part of a server.
Beginning[]
When you send the first message to your friend, or vice versa, the middle message history column appears your friend's name, profile pic and says "This is the beginning of your direct message history with @[user]." There is also an option where you can send a sticker of Wumpus waving, to show your greeting towards to user.
