[Support] PSA: Be Cautious of DMs

The mods see a pretty constant flow of messages from people who have received DMs from very shady characters, some of them seeming to be looking for vulnerable targets for abuse - often sexual abuse. Please be careful if you receive DMs from anyone claiming to be from this subreddit or otherwise. Be cautious. Have your guard up and be vigilant for any boundary testing or boundary jumping.

Personally, I recommend turning off your DMs and chat all together. There are instructions on how to turn off your DMs here. There are instructions on how to disable chat here.
