I don’t really know which community to post this in, I think this is the most relevant one?

I’ve recently spent a bit more time on lemmy.world and I have to say they don’t seem super keen on removing trolls and transphobes, same for instances like lemmings.world.

The moderators seem to be perfectly aware of transphobic replies, vague threats, misinformation, and obvious trolling, yet they hardly remove any of the offending replies, and rarely if ever ban anyone. Certainly not often enough to make the network less toxic.

This post was mostly to vent, but I would also like to ask: when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I’m reporting from?

Sorry if this is the wrong place.

    when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I’m reporting from?

    When a report is made, it goes to three instances.

    1. The instance of the person making the report
    2. The instance of the account being reported
    3. The instance of the community in which the content was posted

    Each instance only gets a single copy of the report and that report can be actioned by the admin of the instance the report is on, or moderators of the community. Only a single report is generated for each instance even if it meets multiple criteria, and it is one report per instance, not one report per admin/moderator. Marking a report as complete on one instance does not mark it as complete on another instance.

    If a report leads to content removal, that removal will only federate if the reported content is removed by a moderator of the community, or by an admin of the instance that hosts the community or the user. If removed by any other admin, the removal doesn’t federate to other instances, and is purely removed for local users.
