dni
What does dni mean?
A line in someone's bio telling certain people not to follow, comment, or DM. Usually a stacked list ('DNI if racist, homophobic, MAP, under 18, pro-AI'). Half boundary-setting, half flag-planting — it signals the kind of space the account wants to be.
"Checked her bio — basic DNI list, then a Lana lyric."
Origin
Stan Twitter / Tumblr bio convention from the late 2010s, ported to TikTok bios and pinned comments.
