@mastodonmigration @Gargron The hackers don't care about the Blame Game. They try to use loopholes and social engineering to get their stuff sent, is all. Making the fediverse and specifically mastodon more resilient and less attractive as a target — that IS our task.

 @jwildeboer @mastodonmigration @Gargron I completely agree and I do not like that it’s so open I have a bigger problem with puritanical idealists with a large ego thinking they can just slide into my DM’s and basically harass me to insist I stop using Twitch just because they have some political disagreements with Twitch. Or when I’ve had other idealists annoy me in DM’s because they didn’t like a hashtag I used. We should have comtrol over DM’s period |
@mastodonmigration @Gargron Changing the default in Mastodon to "DMs only from people I follow" would already stop many attacks and, IMHO, would also meet expectations of users. The last few spam waves used that loophole — that anyone can send DMs to anyone by default.
