So, you created and moderate !buyselltrade@lemmy.sdf.org , you posted something there. Someone clicked “Create Report”, and as a result you (the moderator of that community) received a report. Naturally, you didn’t ban yourself. But, somehow you were banned from discuss.tchncs.de? Do the admins of that site receive a report if one of their users reports something? Or, was there a separate report that they acted on?
In a way though, I guess this is working as intended with distributed moderation. If someone had a Hitler fan club community on their own server nobody could make them shut it down, but the existence of that community might be enough to warrant banning them and/or defederating their instance. But, I’d assume there was a separate report requesting that you be banned from their community that went to their moderators.
What’s funny about this is that the complaint was “Med spam”. Lemmy is a “pull” design, you don’t get community posts sent to you, you have to go out looking for them. So, this is a bit like choosing to go to a steakhouse and then leaving a bad review because they didn’t have good vegan options.
You’d want all of them. The community moderators receiving the report is obvious. The instance admins get notified because all content that goes through their server is copied and stored on them.
Also I heard that if mods take care of the report before their admins see it, the report doesn’t go through anymore, to cut down on the amount they have to deal with? Not sure on how that works.
It seems like there could be a flag for whether instance admins get notified or not. If the complaint is something like “this user didn’t use a spoiler tag for the most recent episode when the community rules say you should”, that would be something that should only involve moderators. OTOH, if it’s “this user is evading a ban so they can post revenge porn”, then maybe you want the instance admins for the relevant community involved. But, IMO, the local admins (local to the user making the report) should probably only be involved if the remote admins (the ones hosting the community) are not doing their job.
I’m working nights & saving up so I can afford to go to computer school so I can learn how to click on the right buttons to surf the information superweb and to learn the information I want. I didn’t especially want this information, but it reminded me of what I’m working nights & saving up for.
I have a problem. This subreddit’s avatar is a telephone. But it is an Ericson-Ddreyfus WE-302. But it is cordless and with 9 push buttons. This is problematic of the circumstances in which this subreddit was instantiated. It neeeds fewer buttons.
I assume by “subreddit” you mean Lemmy Community?

Reports go to four places:
lemmy.sdf.org)discuss.tchncs.de)lemmy.sdf.orgin this case)So yeah, the admins of
discuss.tchncs.deacted in this case. Why? I’m not sure.(cc @qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org)
So, each report does that automatically? That seems like often it would be overkill, but good in other cases.

Looks like they just manually banned the poor guy.

This might be useful, it’s from my other channel.
Oh great! Another tube I have to learn how to subscribe! FML!

I heard about this, something about an advanced algorithm.
