# DM Disabler

> **DM Disabler** helps prevent unwanted direct messages by permanently disabling DMs server-wide. Once invited, it quietly handles DM permissions behind the scenes — no setup required.

> **Invite Link**: [Click here to invite DM Disabler](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1223348495814230066)

> Even with DMs disabled, **friends can still message each other**, **moderators can message members**, and **your bots and apps will still function normally**.

## How Do I Stop Getting Discord Activity Alerts?

Sometimes, you’ll receive **Activity Alerts** from Discord when DMs are disabled or security measures are active. Here’s how to manage them:

  <img className="hidden dark:block mx-auto" src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/hashbot/images/notification.png" style={{ width:"80%" }} />
</Frame>

**Go to:**\
Server Settings → Safety Setup → Raid Protection and CAPTCHA → Edit

There, you can choose:

* A specific channel to receive alerts
* Or disable alerts entirely
