Transcription: picture is a screenshot of a user inbox page with a new message containing a photo of a woman with dark hair. The message reads "Hi I am Nicole but you can call me the Fediverse chick". There's more text but this is very obviously a bot attempting to get people to join a particular server.

On a side note: I can't delete this message as I get an error about dms not being available. I've blocked the bot already. Does programming.dev support dm's?

I sent you a DM to test DMs in the instance. I think it went through ok. As far as deleting goes, i don't see a way to delete in voyager so I'm not sure on that part.

It's a shame that the fediverse doesn't have a better way to stop these mass DMs though

Yeah so I can dm, I just can't delete a dm request oddly enough. I'm on Connect so might be my app rather than the instance

I mentioned this the last wave a few weeks ago of the same message with a different user name. There is no option anywhere on even the desktop UI to delete a DM (using Mbin, don't know about Lemmy).
