No SDF is a general purpose instance for anyone interested in Old Tech, Nostalgia, or Linux and Open source in general. It seems this asshole just managed to get in and start posting evil shit. Hopefully they ban his ass from there forever.
I guess that’s the unfortunate part about how Lemmy handles reports. They seem to go to everyone involved so if you are reporting content a moderator is posting they’ll know.
Yeah I can’t really say I’m surprised. I’ve known about this for a while now. I’ve asked Lemmy’s Devs about having more granular report control or admin only reports for situations like this but they refuse to listen and instead just go on about shoulds and how community mods should manage their community.
Oh, that’s good. I apologize for coming off as harsh in that case. I remembered a situation where someone was arguing with me saying that it would be bad or useless since community mods need to run their own communities and shouldn’t be bypassed. Glad to see its being worked on.
I hope we see some kind of change in line with what you suggested. With each instance and community having different rules most of the time reports are going to be situational.
If I am correct with the current report configuration if I ran a community with a no memes rule and someone reported someone’s post for being a meme that would get sent to myself but also the admins of both instances for no real reason. It’s only in times of egregious rule violations like the CSAM attacks that hit Lemmy a while ago or threats against a user that I could see reports going everywhere as being useful. Kind of like a panic button.
I’d also like to see the option to report communities. I don’t think that exists right now and most people are doing it in whatever the meta community is on their instance. I get people might want a discussion before a community is removed or banned but I feel like more often than not it’s just hate speech whack-a-mole where it isn’t really needed.
I saw nutomic repsonded to your comment by the way. Glad to see it’s being worked on.
I’m confused, is that instance for the right?

I am currently working on admin only reports.
