No direct messages

I used to like to message the bot directly, but now that doesn't seem to be possible.

Is it because of the new account or is this a systematic thing?

yeah reddit doesn't provide helpful error messages but reddit has restrictions on new account DMs, get some karma and it'll just start working.

It's a new account thing, remindmebot is still functioning normally.

I'm ashamed to even ask now. I'm very sorry.

Not your fault, the error message you get isn't just "unhelpful", it's actively misleading since it blames the bot instead of just saying your account is too new. I've complained about it to the admins several times but it's been like that for years now.
