This annoys the fuck out of me and I hope whoever is behind it doesn't realize their goals, because I don't want lemmy to degrade into a bunch of spam PMs.
TBF, it's bound to happen.
Guaranteed almost.
Lemmy has minimal controls for protecting against spam and bot spam. It's built to handle the internet 5 to 10 years ago, not the internet today.
I can only hope that this changes because as soon as the platform becomes popular enough (which it is slowly). Then the rate of bot spam and other sorts of spam will just go through the roof, and there's very little that admins can do to combat it without it becoming a full-time job.
I don't either want to see story on TV about Internet hacker group "Lenny" destroying womans life by a persistent harassment campaign.
I finally got one a week ago. Have many of you gotten them?
There's an entire community of people who get them. I think it's called "Nicoled" but likely shitting down now. Some people were getting up to tens per day.
Jfc I got my first today and was like βoh wow itβs real.β Canβt believe some people are getting multiple a day. That would be annoying as hell

I got my first one last night. Yay! I'm part of the thing now!
