Over the past few days, I have received 2 identical scam direct messages from freshly created accounts on different instances (I immediately blocked user and messaged instance admins, with no response yet), namely aggregatet.org and feddit.rocks. I was wondering if others had experienced this issue, so I could see if it was an escalating issue.
In the default Lemmy interface, it should be a flag icon. It’s possible it’s different if you’re using an app?
No problem - we’re unfortunately unable to delete the messages themselves the way we can remove a public comment, but rest assured we will fire the account into the sun (or, you know, just ban them from messaging our local users).
I also know that the admins of other servers are aware of the issue, so I encourage everyone to make reports, regardless of their home server.
