DNI

1. What does DNI mean online?

Do not interact

If you see "DNI" on social media, it most likely means that the person who posted it does not want you to interact with them or their content. For example, people often use DNI when they post NSFW videos on social sites like TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, and don't want users to interact if they are too young, may be offended, etc.

Savvy netizens widely regard DNI as a courtesy meant to alert others who might deem the content objectionable (often because of language, graphic depictions, etc.). For example, an influencer that shares graphic fail videos may post DNI along with the video.

People may also use DNI to alert others that they do not want to interact with others on social media. For example, they may only use the service to follow others or don't want to interact with you because they are grumpy or annoyed you hold offensive beliefs.
