    (People can’t DM you)

    This is false. However, you must generate an “identifier / group / channel” for them and share that link out-of-band to them." Basically it means nobody can slide into your DMs unless you yourself consent to it and forge a connection with them to do so. It does offer a way to invite other users to chat; but the other user must consent as well…which makes it far safer usually.
