Please, never send someone a message with “hey, you” specially

if it’s a first message and you don’t know the person.

This phrase is impolite and it’s used when you want to catch someone’s attention in an angry and rude way.

Even as a “joke”, people can’t tell you’re joking from first impressions, so please avoid it.

Some good alternatives:

Hey/Hi/Hello there! 😊

    Hi so, how about: "hi, what's up man?". Is that available? I always say like that on the first message.
