Turns out having Discord DMs off for strangers makes my experience a lot better, though I have seen people complain about it. That's ok

@NovaSquirrel It has definitely been peaceful for me ever since I do it since I often get random requests for help I cannot answer or just outright scams.

@XerTheSquirrel I used to get a lot of requests for help - I'm fine helping in public at my own pace, but it's not ok when it's demanding my time specifically

@NovaSquirrel Or I also get random friend requests which have always ended up being: "I need help with this".
