“I wish there was a way to request a DM to someone in BlueSky. Currently you can only send DMs to people who follow you, which is fine, but there is no way to request contact without publicly asking with a mention.”

CLASSIFIER RATIONALE

Clear expression of a missing feature category: a DM request system for social platforms that don't allow unrestricted messaging. The author identifies a genuine gap (can't privately request contact without public mention) and implies this would be valuable.
