Yeah! Set your messages so you only receive them from friends. That’s what I do. If someone not on your list messages, it goes to a hidden “other” folder that you can check if you want, but don’t get notifications for.
You can leave a message introduction telling people to f*** off. That’s basically what I did. If they don’t respect that and message you anyways that’s on them. Not your problem.
Do you feel compelled to read and answer everything you receive? Why don't you just leave 317 unread messages in your inbox and read them when you feel like it? You are not morally obligated to reply to every message you get.

You could try ticking all the options in filtering your messages, in the filter messages section that might help

I hate to say it but you are a female on this site you are going to get bombed with messages every day for as long as your on the site mostly from perverts
@ExperienceDLT If you think there is a permanent stream of messages from men into our inboxes then you are wrong. I can only speak for myself of course, but those ladies I talked with are the same.
