The wonderful @[email protected] has developed a script to help deal with DM spam.

With this script, when a user is permabanned, DMs sent from the account in the previous 24 hours will automatically be marked as deleted.

We have set the time to 24 hours to ensure that the majority of pre-existing (non spam) DMs are preserved in the event of an account being banned. That being said, if you lose a DM to this script that you need recovered, please reach out to myself or Kaity, and we can restore it manually for you!

Speaking of which, is there any way to delete DMs in Voyager? The only options I see are user info, or block.

I don't know if it is still true but I was told this is a Lemmy thing and that only admins could delete DMs.

No, deleting DMs is a mod thing. In this case, we're doing it directly from the database

I never realized how easy that would be to abuse. I’m really surprised Lemmy doesn’t have an option to let users delete DMs

I'm hoping that it's in the works
