Been a few weeks, huh? I wasn’t really planning on making an entire release this month, but given current events on fedi I think I should push this out sooner rather than later
New Stuff
Direct Message Acceptance Settings
A feature that people have wanted since forever, but that has for some reason never been implemented. Well, now it has!
In your settings (under profile), you can now choose who should be able to send you direct messages. If you are sent a message that you do not allow, your address will be stripped from the message, preventing any notifications from being created and letting you live in peace.
New MRF for recently-created uers
Dealing with new accounts sending you too many sussy baka messages? Purge them. This MRF will reject all messages sent from accounts created within a certain recency.
This can have the side-effect of preventing people you have never interacted with from replying to you for a time, but for some this may be a tradeoff they are willing to make.
Enable RejectNewlyCreatedAccountNotesPolicy if you want this functionality.
A brand-new light theme for akkoma-fe
Not much to expand on here, it’s a theme!
if you like light themes, maybe try this out
