Thanks!

You cannot block a user that already send you a message.

You also cannot delete a DM unless the administrator helps you. If you receive abusive material you’re more or less stuck with it.

I don’t want DMs, but I must accept them now.

if not most mobile apps don’t even support DMs at all, so you can use those.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that’s not a suitable work around for me.

I use Voyager and consider it by far the best client, but I’m not going to switch apps because Lemmy doesn’t allow DMs to be blocked.

It’s also not just about hiding, but the sender should be aware the DM cannot be send.

No, I see all.

UnanimousStargazer, 10 months ago

No, what I mean is that any user can randomly start sending DMs to another user and I don’t want any DMs.

Blocking is an action when the DM was already received.

Dutchy here.

Why?

UnanimousStargazer, 10 months ago

That’s funny indeed :)

Thanks,

UnanimousStargazer, 10 months ago

That’s indeed pretty funny :)

Could be, but I can’t check because you’re also commenting on my OP. Could you retry commenting on another comment not written by me?

Never mind: the mention worked.

OK, interesting. There are multiple ways apparently.

If you start typing @user then you’ll get a dropdown box,

If one uses the web-interface. But who uses the web-interface. It’s slow and clunky. A client is much faster.

Shouldn’t you ask that question on lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support?

If you start your own server, you moderate yourself.

Whether others want to federate with your server is up to them.

UnanimousStargazer, 10 months ago

You don’t need to allow other people on your server.
