![Canāt remember exactly where or about whom I reported but it was to the effect of āsomeone please kill [this person]ā](https://lemmy.cafe/pictrs/image/d2276497-bd1c-4d25-9a79-135799319e54.webp){kind=link}

For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the āvictimā is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didnāt even register that the person I was ādefendingā was richāIām just aware that calls to violence are against most instancesā terms of service (due to legal threats). Genuinely sorry seahorse! I wish you just had something in your instance sidebar or even spoke to me instead of jumping to ban and ālibā insults!
Unverifiable information you will have to take my word for (per community rules)
Apologized to seahorse and got:
My own personal curiosities only adjacently related
Correct me if Iām wrong, isnāt this a bit of an abuse of federation? This is the same admin that pulled the move with the doxxing of Nick Fuentes. By banning users for reporting content that may violate our local instance rules, seahorse is making our local instances harder to moderate for our admins. (Honestly I respect the commitment to the running a very open and uncensored instance, but until Lemmy has the option to only report to local admins versus local & federated authorities, this may not be the best strategy?)
Anyway, this is pretty interesting. Iām honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss !theonion@midwest.social) and curious what yall think. :)
Okay, that listed reason is so five-year-old-on-a-sugar-high that I aināt even mad. Like, it goes beyond power tripping into comedy via absurdity.
However, if youāre running around playing playground monitor, I canāt say I blame them. Report abuse is a thing, and depending on how far youāre taking it, it could well be absurdist as well
Iāll be honest ālibbity lib libā has now made me laugh multiple times while scrolling.
Almost sounds like Mary Poppins
Obviously I didnāt keep count but I canāt have made more than maybe 1-3 reports in the last day? Believe me I hear you though! Thatās why I was so apologetic to him and reached out before posting here. I hate to he a nuisance and genuinely just try to help people out haha.
Thatās not much, imo. Certainly not nuisance or troll levels at all. Hell, I donāt think I would even notice that many considering that word of mouth has most instances generating at least dozens of reports a day. Not that word of mouth is exactly reliable, but as a rough guesstimate of things, someone making good faith reports at that frequency is nothing.
For damn sure it would merit a ābugger offā before even a temp ban
I invite anyone reading this comment to time themselves on how long it takes to DM me āchill with the reports or banā and report back
Seconds.
Iāve had a mod DM me in reply to a report exactly once (and they replied to my reply, so maybe twice). Itās not difficult for them.
I have had mods do it probably half a dozen times from various communities. A couple were to say thanks, some were to ask for clarification on why I reported. One instance I was reporting every single abusive comment of a user who had gone under the radar for weeks and they were just like āyo you can stop reporting we are working on it.ā š
All of those times I was grateful for the open and candid communication.
