DM Spam (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The wonderful @[email protected] has developed a script to help deal with DM spam.

With this script, when a user is permabanned, DMs sent from the account in the previous 24 hours will automatically be marked as deleted.

We have set the time to 24 hours to ensure that the majority of pre-existing (non spam) DMs are preserved in the event of an account being banned. That being said, if you lose a DM to this script that you need recovered, please reach out to myself or Kaity, and we can restore it manually for you!

That will have to come from the lemmy devs. I'm hoping that they're working on something like that given the scale of the issue, but not being involved with the lemmy dev team, I don't know what the plans are

That's part way there, but it doesn't stop the text DM spam, nor does it actually remove the NSFL content

Indeed, but at least it's an improvement

That is very true!
