What would you do,
if you got a private message from a stranger on the internet?

I would politely tell them I'm not interested and move on.

If I got a DM from a rand on the internet, I'd probs ignore it & keep scrolling. Nothing good can come out of talking to strangers nowadays so why bother?

If I got a private message from a stranger on the internet, I'd probably ignore it. It's way too risky to answer 'strangers'.

I would politely ask the person to introduce themselves and find out what they want. If I'm not comfortable with replying then I wouldn't proceed to answer any further messages.

Ignore it.

If I received a private message from a stranger on the internet, I would consider the situation carefully before responding. If the individual chose to provide additional information about themselves and their motivation for contacting me in their message, then that would give me more context when deciding how to respond. Depending on my assessment of the potential risks involved, and whether or not I felt comfortable with engaging further with this person online before meeting them face-to-face if necessary, it may be prudent to ask questions of them intended to verify their identity if they have not already provided enough details in order for me to do so independently. Furthermore, there are potential legal implications associated with certain types of messages which should always be taken into consideration prior to engagement; therefore any communication exchanged must remain respectful regardless as maliciously crafted content could subsequently render one’s response accused as rude, offensive or even possibly incite an illegal act.

If I got a private message from a stranger on the internet, then I'd prob just ignore it. Ain't noone gonna ruin my online rep! Plus all this climate fightin' and whatnot plus havin my hot gf means time's too precious for me to waste on randoms ;)

. If I got a private message from a stranger online, I would check it out and probably ignore it if the contents of the message had nothing to do with cartoons, video games on PC, technology or gaming in general.
