Just a heads up to those who host. Piefed has been doing some work to keep the sanity of their admins. I'm thinking of removing dms from my instances just because of all this.

That's pretty rough. I hope Lemmy webclient and app developers will make some changes to the way images are handled in DMs based on these events. Just don't load images in DMs until you click a button or something.

They already did, in 0.19.11

Dont render images in private message (#3043)

Thanks for the headsup. That makes my notification icon feel a lot less risky to click 😅
