You're really anxious to have infinite amounts of spam from bridged messaging services that noone can do anything to stop?

>that noone can do anything to stop

I think clicking the button that says "only accept messages from my contacts" on the messaging service of your choice ought to solve that problem

Why would you be able to do that? I don’t have regex blocking in any of my messaging apps right now. If you think you’ll be able to block specific other services, that sounds anticompetitive.

An individual should be able to do that, not talking about app wise blocking someone.

Blocking one sender at a time does nothing to stop spam if you can’t cut off an entire service.
