@scott thanks (and it's working)

@scott @whzfux how? I found some reference to a labs feature but it's not on my hosted Element install

@carlyman @palitu on your own instance you only have the accounts and rooms you want. I have zero public rooms on mine. Only if you join a public room elsewhere does it get synced to your instance.
Blocking DM is a client thing I guess? I have had zero unwanted DM so far though...
