When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Lemmy instance block feature has the perverse side-effect of a shitty Reddit-esque shadow ban on all DMs from users on that instance (like blackholing email). Yikes! (slrpnk.net)

In the user settings, I have several Cloudflare instances on my blocklist (e.g. Lemmy.World). When a user from one of those instances DMs me, the sender is falsely led to believe the msg was delivered and the recipient has no way of knowing. It has a nasty side effect comparable to shadow banning.

I have not actually tested this myself. I just know that I do not recall receiving a DM from a user on an instance that I block. But the linked comment is from @wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net who discovered the bug and tested this.

Closed as Won't Fix. Working as designed. User expectation is upside down.
