On social media, people use dts as an abbreviation for "death threats." Most often, people use dts when discussing death threats they or others have received.
For example, on Twitter, a writer who recently published a controversial story may post "dts started rolling in this morning as expected; gotta love social media." This means the writer has received death threats as a result of their story. (Either publicly, via DM, or both.)
Dts are often accompanied by doxxing, which is the act of revealing confidential information about a person (such as their address or phone number) without their consent. Thus, when someone discusses dts they've received, they may also say they've been doxxed.
