I'm not a fan of DMs. While they have their place, they have some massive problems: they create silos and oracles, and reduce visibility. I know this because I'm an unwilling oracle on my team. Part of this can be solved with documentation, but then you have the problem of people who won't look at the docs sending people DMs that could've been solved by searching the docs for a keyword.
