Spam (like the torrent of cryptoscamspam lots of people got this morning) has been very rare for me here (and dealt with quickly), but I've noticed that almost all of the spam I've gotten has been via Mastodon's DM feature.

I really wish there was a way to turn DMs off or at least restrict them to people I follow. Control over incoming DMs was a thing Twitter did better than here.

Please stop telling me about the "block DMs from people you don't follow" checkbox. I know about that. It doesn't work properly. It results in people THINKING they've sent you a message that you never actually see.
@mattblaze Ahhh, good to know - thank you
