Abuse problem with DMs and lack of delete (slrpnk.net)

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.

For what it's worth, the upstream issue appears to be this one: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4120 And it seems like there is some vague interest in this being solved in the medium term feature. So let's not give up hope just yet.

That's good to see, thank you!
