I personally feel Product Hunt needs a no link Private chat to make connecting with other makers easier.
What do you think?

yes. I agree with you.

I think that the PH idea is about OPEN COMMUNITY. That's why we have discussions and not private messages
@nataliekarakina Hmm... I get that idea but most people might not want to share their Mail to during an Open conversation
@nataliekarakina Agree! I think there are many other means to communicate in private.
@nataliekarakina @arokor Exactly maybe something not too evasive
for instance you must have at least 200 points to send a DM and each new DM is like 50 Point
@repreneur because we had it and it was full with spam and requests about supporting a launch and more. That's why it was discontinued!
Honestly if it needs to be sent via DM, it probably doesn’t belong on PH. I love the community dynamic here, and I attribute a large part of it to open, honest discussion 👊
No, there is Twitter. I dont need another one
I think that will fade out the essence of open communities on PH. It's good to be transparent and open about asking and helping!
I believe that the PH thought is about OC, Thats why we have conversations and not private messages

I think if private messaging is encouraged, the USP of PH will get lost somewhere...
No way, everything has DMs now, I would never see them and lose important connections
Nope dont think its a good idea
@repreneur it will invite a lot of spammer, community is better this way IMO if anyone spams the DEV's can easily take action
Interesting question. I don't think PH needs a DM feature. Otherwise, it will just become a LinkedIn for makers. Discussions are a great way to share here on PH. With DMs I'm scared to be spammed with people promoting their product and asking for upvotes.
@cica_laure_mbappe The fear is something i've noticed but PH Has a points system and the Points shows how long and active you are. How about using those points to DM for example it costs 50 points to open a chat and you can also choose to turn on or off the feature
BTW I love Kylian Mbappe Dope Name you have
maybe we can have a live chat section
It actually used to exist, but as others have pointed out PH is about the community and not the individual links! People have Twitter to connect person-to-person. The more open discussions are, the better quality they have the opportunity to become!
@tim_carambat Interesting comment
i never knew it existed actually
Open discussions help me a lot also
Being an open community it's good that the feature isn't present.
