Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

What the fuck and can we do something about it?

    They’re also sending them as messages.

    This exposes a number of very serious issues with Lemmy.

    1. The inexplicable lack of a delete option for messages in your inbox.
    2. The fact that blocking a user does not remove or hide messages they’ve sent you from your inbox.
    3. The lack of a report button.
    4. The fact that it’s possible to send direct messages with inline images and have those images immediately show up for the end user (absolutely incredible that not one person ever said “Yo, what happens when people use this to send dick pics?”)

    I’ve gotten some from @thewatcher already. Hopefully some mod or server admin can get on the job of banning them.

      Re: 3. Lemmy 100% has a report button. In the the vertical dot menu under a comment on the webui.

      And in your dm’s its the flag button. Lemmy messages aren’t truly private so admins should be able to see and take action.

        Well, I tried it, and it just sits there and spins an “in progress” wheel. No idea if those reports actually went through or not.

          If it’s anything like when that happens while commenting then I think it goes through.
