This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.
Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.
Shit like this is why Lemmy isn’t a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.
What you’d want to do now is reach out directly to the admin of the instance.
Do mods see who report what? Because that means I won’t report anything. I stopped reporting on Facebook groups because of that. I stopped reporting on Reddit when Reddit started sending me feedback on my reports.
Yes and I find it very strange. The few reports I’ve seen on my communities show who reported, what was reported, and the reason given
Edit: also as a mod I feel that knowing who reported something isn’t necessary? The only thing I can truly think of is so mods can do something about report spam or false reporting, but to me a better solution would be having it hidden to mods, and visible to admins if it needs to be investigated for report abuse/spam/etc.?
Thank you for letting us know who and what spaces to avoid/block but sorry you were left without help… Although I see an admin answered to you. I hope action has been taken, whatever it’s shape or form.
The racist transphobes can now be seen from Lemmy. Nature is healing.
PS: They aren’t welcome.
That’s not cool. You come to my subs. I’ll treat your reports right. Bring you a hot towel with a mint and the morning paper.
Thank you for doing mod work and keeping spaces nice for us. Your hospitality is priceless.
