I mean… I come from the forum scene and they were always called PMs, as in Private Message. What in the hell does DM stand for and when did things change from people calling them PMs to DMs.

Matrix is the fediverse’s messaging platform. It has end-to-end encryption, so you do actually have a guarantee of privacy.
There are DMs on lemmy and they are not using Matrix. Matrix’s security doesn’t matter if you are not actually using Matrix
Why would lemmy not have E2EE for person to person messages?
why bother? if you need actual private messaging, you can just use matrix
Privacy is improved when it is there by default
Yes, but when you click the DM button on lemmy.world there’s a big red warning telling you to use matrix (element.io) instead.
Matrix is not part of the Fediverse
