      @clacke Maybe you should see whether #Friendica lets you turn off "direct messages" from non-mutuals. I think the wave of #spam is going to highlight how many settings default in the wrong direction.
      
      I don't think the network is anywhere near ready to deal with organized spammers.

         @LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} Yeah, that option is there for when I need it. I'm seeing less than one DM per day so far, just a tiny annoyance.

      I've also heard about Mastodon.online and other large instances being used as spam spigots.
