    Everything before step 7 is a red herring. In other words, they have no bearing on the final result. Everything comes down to who is following whom (and that "receive messages from anyone" setting). – ale May 29 '16 at 13:01

Yes, because user1 has a public account and has a setting to receive message from anyone. So user2 can send direct message to user1 even if user1 doesn't follow user2.

But user2 will not be able to send message if user1 has a setting to not receive message from anyone or only whom I follow.

  • I'm sorry I didn't edit it fast enough. That setting is not checked. user1 cannot receive messages from everyone. – user1user2 May 29 '16 at 8:03
  • And do not delete comment if you have requested something in comment. – serenesat May 29 '16 at 8:05
  • If user1 has a setting to not recieve message from anyone then user2 would not be able to send message. – serenesat May 29 '16 at 8:14
  • You might want to reword your answer, but I think I agree with you. – user1user2 May 29 '16 at 8:35
