Disable DMs? (lemm.ee)
submitted 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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?

Well, would you say Boost blocks images by default? Because Thunder (the front end I'm using) doesn't.

I think it's actually my instance not loading "SD" images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it's not until I click the "HD" button does it actually load images like the above?

My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.
