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.

That's pretty rough. I hope Lemmy webclient and app developers will make some changes to the way images are handled in DMs based on these events. Just don't load images in DMs until you click a button or something.

Though it's client-specific and nobody uses lemmy-ui

Vast majority of people do, it is the default UI when you use a browser, and by far it is the most fast and lightweight one. For most people accessing on a web browser Lemmy-UI IS Lemmy. Obviously many people use alternative UIs and Apps but the point is a change in the default UI that people use is a majorly impactful change.
