Private Message (PM) was common until Twitter and Instagram came around, where the platforms did not want to get in trouble for implying that your messages were "Private" in any way, so the renamed them "Direct Messages". Reddit and Lemmy make user-to-user messages easily accessible by admins, so DM is appropriate here.
