DMs & Friends

Message anyone directly, or start a group DM with several people. DMs support the same reactions, replies, and rich formatting as channels.

Add friends by username, manage incoming and outgoing requests, and see your friends' presence at a glance in the friends list.

Messages from people you're not friends with arrive in a separate requests inbox, so you can accept or ignore them without unwanted DMs interrupting you.

Block a user to cut off contact entirely, or quietly ignore someone to hide their messages without them knowing — your call, your space.

All the message tools you expect work in DMs too — copy a link, forward a message, react, and reply.
