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
Understood, but at the moment, you can't even do that because you can't delete DMs through the user interface or set controls on who can send you DMs. Until we get options in lemmy that let people take control of their own approach to spam DMs, this is the best we can do, because unfortunately, "do nothing" just means spam impacts everyone, and given the nature of some of that spam, that's not an option.
Edit - I just noticed you're not a blahaj lemmy user, so this won't impact you in any way. It's specific to users of this instance
Did you deliberatelyskip the background section when you were doing character creation or was it accidental? Do you regret this character configuration? Would you create the same character if you were starting again?
She was young, still a kid, raised in the country, and going to school in one of the most racist towns in Australia. She had only turned up to go to the pool and go swimming with some friends. She wasn't there for the Freedom Ride or the protest, so it all caught her by surprise. It was stumbling in to the protest, and seeing all of the folk that had turned out for it, pushing back against racism that made her realise that racism doesn't have to be "just the way it is".
Unfortunately, Moree is still a racist, bigoted place, with deeply entrenched inequality. The segregation is still there, it's just social now, instead of legal.
My mum was in Moree to visit the pool on the day the Freedom Ride arrived there. She was 16 at the time, and she's always told me the impact it had on her!
Ah, ok, I found the emoji auto complete. It doesn't look to be something we can alter. You can use a different front end though (see links in the instance sidebar). They will have different behaviours for emoji
Not yet. And it's still being maintained, but only half heartedly, so it will work until it doesn't. The dev is looking at migrating to PieFed if they can move their backend lemmy DB over, and that will kick things off again, but with a PieFed focus
That's part way there, but it doesn't stop the text DM spam, nor does it actually remove the NSFL content
