Cannot send messages to this user: How to fix this error
Some of you might get a ‘Cannot Send Messages to this User' error message from the Midjourney Bot when trying to DM it.
Here's what to do:
- Right-click the Midjourney server icon (on Discord).
- Click on 'Privacy Settings'
- And then make sure 'Allow direct messages from members in this server' is on.
