If itch had an active community engaged in honest conversation, we could get to know each other's personalities, abilities, and needs.

Private messages would be a benefit too haha I am surprised that is not a feature on a site like this. Nobody wants to flood the forum with things that could be discussed 1 on 1 so in that way it kind of discourages reaching out to find people to team up with.

A DM system with access attained through community milestones might help. Perhaps one could play an official itch video game to achieve DM activation.

But why should it be a reward system ? Dm is a normal feature on a forum....why do you think itch does not support it ?

Their explanation is that there already exist many messaging systems to compete with: e-mail, Discord, XMPP, Matrix, etc.

Everyone who has an Itch account has an e-mail address, anyway.

If there were not a verification process, inbox spam might be rampant.
