Slrpnk and lemmy are great, and I understand they are volunteer driven. With this post I don't mean to be pushy, and I'm grateful for this place and the software, but I hope it's useful to point out where there might be trouble for users down the line:

So I might be missing something, but there seems to be no way to delete a private message, not even after reporting it. Given the nasty things some people may send just to mess with somebody, this seems like a dangerous omission to me that is at a high risk to lead to grief if not addressed at some point. Is there some bug tracker where perhaps this omission could be best pointed out?

My apologies if I'm missing something however. Perhaps I'm just too silly to see the button, it's happened before.

I guess its just lemmy being a bit weird, because they don't always show up there.

Select both the "Messages" (as opposed to "All, mentions, etc.") and "All" (as opposed to "Unread") filters.
By default, I think the inbox will try to show a mix of each type of message/mention/reply and you might kinda miss messages in the feed.

Yeah, thats what I tried. I just put it up to lemmy being weird.
