Private messaging pulls you out of the scrolling feed into an inbox-style thread with one stranger. What you type stays between two people until someone reports abuse, same as any direct chat should work. Many users meet in a public room first, then invite a partner private when the vibe is mutual. Mute controls let you silence a thread without blocking someone everywhere on the site. Saved contacts bring you back on mobile or desktop without re-rolling the random queue. Links can share with previews, but still treat unknown URLs like you would in any other inbox. Leave anytime; there is no group goodbye speech when you are done for the night.
