It doesn't blow my mind, it infuriates me

Yep, it hit many lemmy servers as well, including mine. I had to block multiple alibaba subnet to get things back to normal. But I'm expecting the next spam wave.
I get where you're coming from, but this sort of qa should be done in coordination with the service provider to work well.
Unfortunately the lemmy default interface is shit at telling if your account application has been rejected. That UI is thankfully being replaced. You can try using a different UI like tesseract which should provide more accurate information on why you cannot login.
But if your application has been denied, and you didn't receive a manual confirmation from the l.w. admins that it's been now approved, it's still denied. I don't know why people suggested to try again.
Which is exactly my point.
The point of it being a core feature, is that people are not going to Discord for its DM capabilities.
Woke cultural Marxism
Ah we're on that stage of open fascism, huh?
I saw Musk mentioning Ian Banks' Player of Games as an influential book for him, and I puked in my mouth a little.
Literally the Deep State, and the cultists are all for it.
Wow, those phoronix forums have really turned pure fash, haven't they?
That is excellent! I had suggested something similar for lemmy frontend devs to implement, but I love to see it natively on piefed.
Hey peeps, the well-known spam problem in lemmy DMs is getting slightly worse, and the spammer in question is evolving their tactics to evade the very rudimentary options we have built-in to lemmy itself (or should I just call it,non-existent?). To get ahead of this, we deployed a DM-scanner directly in the DB, based off of this code but adjusted so that it's more difficult to pull off shenanigans.
At the moment we're only deleting messages based on the "fediverse chick" spam. However I want to point out that if for some reason you legitimately DM someone on dbzer0 with similar terms, you DM might get deleted, so do be aware about that. Them's the breaks.
Unfortunately I can't reveal the exact code I'm using atm, as this can lead to the spammer adjusting their tactics to evade it. However I plan to adjust threativore to also be able to manage your DB anti-DM-spam filters in the future, to make it much easier to handle this, even if you don't feel confident touching your DB. Stay tuned.
I do hope we get more robust anti-spam tech in lemmy and I did open two issues about this, but it seems this is not a prio atm.
If you realize that the anti-spam ate a DM. Do let us know. If you see spam getting through, also let us know.
