    To be able to call someone, they must have sent at least one direct message to your account.

    Emphasis mine.

    To me, it seems like it means that for me to be able to call you, you need to send me at least one DM AND be following me. So, in essence, any rando that you folllow and have previously sent a DM to can call you.

      That’s my interpretation. If you follow someone, and have sent them a message previously, it’s a reasonable assumption you want to talk to them.

      So if some prick DMs you and you say ‘get bent,’ then they get to yell at you by surprise.
