It probably wouldn’t have been annoying if you could just disable it. Getting that little notification with a number (that you compulsively want to clear down to zero) was always a pain.
Hm. I was quite lucky to only have one such encounter. It was some bot inviting people with a certain prefix in their username to a chat, posted one link and then was silent. The group of 50+ people then decided to repurpose the chat to be for an honorable committee, making plans to freeze the world (fighting global warming), throwing a nuke at a bright house of a (at that time) high-positioned person in the USA, overthrowing the danish government (idk why or who started it) and some more stuff.
It even spawned a subreddit :))
It was a nice chat group actually, though with time, many left. I think it might be barely over 20 people left now, and no one’s said anything in a few months now.
I don’t think that’s possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings. When viewing the profile of someone who has a matrix account set on the web ui, there will be a button that says “send encrypted message”. You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.
I hope they will add e2e encrypted DMs
Its called matrix
Yeah. Just embedding Matrix somehow would be the way to do this.
It is already embedded
Could you explain? Lemmy runs on ActivityPub.
You can add you matrix info under your profile. If you have a matrix handle the send secure message button will appear
Oh really! That’s neat.
That’s not really Lemmy’s purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.
I get that it’s unnecessary, but why did you dislike it?
I don’t want a bunch of fucking randos trying to chat me up. If I wanted live chat I wouldn’t be Reddit (or Lemmy) in the first place.

I like when reddit added the new messages system because I could just block the JS from running and just never see them in the first place.
heyyy babby want 2 have the sex? send cc

I think most of my followers are bots though.

I tried to register on lemmygrad yesterday to see your Matrix badge, they didn’t approve me yet :(
