This. I've had my email for years. Admittedly my engagement on HN is chaotic and somewhat rare but in all those years, I think I've had half a dozen one-off emails.
Maybe that shows the actual benefit (or lack thereof) DM would have?
I mean "one-off" suggests that what you received might not have delivered significant value -- what I get is usually please-use-my-product marketing encouraged only by my non-negative commenting.
I love the idea, then I think about it a bit more and the value I see on HN is that almost all information is accessible. Would not want a discord like experience.
I get we also want a human connection, but if you really need a human, maybe let’s have HN meetups. It takes more efforts ao people will do it less, but it means conversations will continue to happen here, publicly.

That was ～2000. I'm convinced the web has not only gone nowhere but regressed since 2009.
you can just do things
