Is there a way to disable DMs? I keep being spammed by users from an instance called sh.itjust.works promoting some weird out-of-platform personal profiles.

They usually send this stuff and then immediately seem to get banned, but I still see their stuff since images are displayed by default. Seems like a big oversight to allow this.

Is there a way to block receiving DMs? Or at least have some sort of Accept/Decline dm feature like on Reddit?

    Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?

    But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you’ve mentioned and I can’t see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse…works.

    Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you’re requesting outright allow you to block DM’s. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.

    I had another yesterday

    that didn’t show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could’ve been CSAM 🤬
