I got one of those fediverse chicks messages today and I noticed I had already blocked the user. Does blocking not stop accounts messaging you? If so its going to be a problem given what we see wit that fediverse chick spam.

Oh that should definitely not be possible... So we'll fix that as soon as possible. Reporting those messages is also on our radar
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org FYI

thanks yeah. I mean alls I know is I got a new one and when I went to it it already showed blocked. I went back and muted all the ones I blocked to see if it makes a difference.

Just wanted to update that I got three more today and two of them I had blocked and silenced. So im now feeling pretty confident that blocking a usage does not keep them from messaging you.

Yes we know. We just merged a PR that should hopefully solve this issue: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/1489

thank you so much. Does this mean an instance will need to be running 1.8.1 for it to take effect?
melroy@kbin.melroy.org · 2 pts · 1y
Yes, but since v1.8.1 is not out yet, nobody can run it yet. Unless you are using a server that is running on main branch. Like my server (kbin.melroy.org) is basically always running latest of the latest bleeding edge (since I'm the developer, I rather want to know when thinks fail fast)

Same here, also I can't delete the spam in Interstellar.
I would also like to block the instance for me.

I have gotten several from severl instances so blocking the domains would not help for me and kill to much of the fedivers.
