### What happened? Due to the recent developments, I have decided to make this
community moderator-only. There has been a mass spam attack involving gore and
nudity. This is now a very serious situation and it is clear that something has
to be done to stop this from happening. The new messages might be from a
different, psychopathic spammer. ### What we decided to do about it To have
better control of this situation, we decided to lock down the community, except
for the comment section on this very post. (Please let me know if I’ve missed a
post) ### Rules - Please refrain to further spread the newest spam image,
especially uncensored versions of it. - The “It’s my girlfriend!”-joke is long
gone. Be respectful, stop using it. ### Going forward Our main goal now is to
stop the spread of spam on Lemmy. This seems like a major problem in Lemmy’s
concept, so we need to work together to create a working solution to the spam
and potential defacing of users.
Just a heads up to those who host. Piefed has been doing some work to keep the sanity of their admins. I’m thinking of removing dms from my instances just because of all this.
I agree with you (and also somewhat with the other people, too)
I want to keep some accounts completely separate from my other accounts, and also don’t want to set up a whole other set of accounts to keep them separate
E.g., on Reddit I would keep certain conversations on reddit only (but used a 3rd party app mostly so I never saw the chats, just dm/pms)
But I want to be able to PM, and I don’t want to have to use a 3rd party service that not every Lemmy user will use to be able to do so.
