"The 'DMs Closed' Introvert"

Their Telegram and Discord bio profiles are full of warnings: "I WILL NEVER DM YOU FIRST", "DMs CLOSED", "NO OTC". They are so tired and paranoid about the thousands of scammers trying to contact them every day that they have closed off all access to private communication. If you want to contact them, you have to speak in a public group. For them, a private message (Direct Message) is a den of thieves.
