    I used to use it when I wanted to impart a little secret to another Redditor, without alerting the entire world.

    For instance, I found a cool, lesser-used auction site that often had good deals on guitars. If I ran across someone whose guitar had been lost somehow, or who couldnt afford a new guitar, I would DM the auction site, and ask them to keep it quiet. I didn’t want to announce it publicly, and alert the entire world to it, and ruin it.
