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.

@nuz Nope. Doesn't work.
@mattblaze seems to work perfectly for me! you might want to open a bug report on the official mastodon github repo and include the steps you took (so they can reproduce your problem), the behavior you observed, and your expected/desired behavior. โ€‹
