Disable Private Messages with Images
Disable Private Messages with Images
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to disable private messages that are sent to you with images in them. I was sent something...unsettling (it was a troll message), and I just want to avoid it all together. I really don't want images in my private messages,* especially if I cannot delete them from my inbox.*
Thanks.
Ha! We are reinventing email insecurity all over again. Hotlinked images can also be used to reveal your IP, which can be geolocated to your city or neighborhood.
That's great and all but I'd rather not see poop in my inbox. :(
Report it if you haven't already. I don't think there's a setting you can use to prevent it right now. If you feel passionate enough about it, you could file a GitHub issue for the Lemmy project highlighting that images in DMs can be used for undeletable harassment and stalking to identify IP addresses and geolocate individuals.
