Transcript: See something off? Do your part to keep the Lemmy community safe:
R - Read the rules of the community.
E - Explain your report, including rule # when possible.
P - Provide context the mods should know.
O - Opt-out, disengage, downvote or block. Don’t add to the drama.
R - Reach out or report right away. *For extremely time-sensitive content (CSAM, gore) DM an admin via Matrix: Instance homepage > Sidebar > click admin’s @username > Send Secure Message
T - Trust your instincts. If in doubt, report it.
Reported, rule 5
there is no rule 5 dawg
That was the joke
make better jokes imho 😛
Reported, rule 5
Gore is extremely time sensitive?
I wonder what internet I’ve been using for the last 30 years.
i don’t know dawg im just presenting the info the mods gave me 😭
Can i report without evidence?
as one of the instance mod/admin’s I’d say that evidence would help expedite the report process but it’s totally optional
depending on what the thing being reported is sometimes evidence isn’t needed
-
for anything that’s blatantly negative/unpleasant, evidence isn’t typically needed when reporting a post/comment
-
for anything else that someone might find subtly “off”, 2 pieces of evidence could help us figure out what’s wrong
- as a systems analyst having as much information to determine what happened and how things got to this way can help others and myself determine what the best way forward could be
- for example some users might just need a warning/clarification based on my own interactions
-
No. Unlike reddit, when you send a report, it shows who reported it.
This has the advantage of the mod being able to respond to the reporter to ask clarification or provide explanation, but it also allows malicious mod action.
I suppose you could create another account if you need to report something without using this name.
That seems like a pretty big oversight on the Lemmy development side of things. There should, at the very least, be an option to submit a report either anonymously or to have it tied to your account. A disclaimer could be included that anonymous reports cannot be responded to in case that is a concern for users.
It’s probably not so much an oversight as a natural consequence of the open nature of Lemmy. Same reason DMs on here are not technically private. Even if you implemented an anonymous report feature, instance admins could probably identify the user easily.
I have also seen temp bans put in for users abusing the report feature to win arguments
Not nearly as often as the abusers successfully use it lol
Most mods are a “permaban first so I don’t have to deal with it” type
Looks up ur modlog.
Repeated warning comment removals before finally being banned for repeated violations
Pardon me for not feeling much sympathy friend.
I’ve reported so many posts in the meme community that I either need to completely block it, or get assigned to the moderation team. It is constantly overrun with political propaganda that doesn’t even slightly resemble a meme.
Combine the big letter and the word. No need for it twice.
I would also include directions on how exactly to message an admin on Matrix, like where you find their username(s).

change made!
I like it all except the downvote bit. I don’t like downvotes being weaponised moreso than what they already are.
I would push back and say that if something is already so bad it’s worth reporting, it’s not weaponization to also simply downvote.
Unless you were already weaponizing the report feature which is pretty much not a good thing lol.
Let me rephrase. What I feel is that downvoting should be used for legitimate content interaction. i.e. That doesn’t fit this community, that’s not a good post. Not, I don’t like this opinion. I’m saying it should be saved for legitimate communing.
Yeah I agree, I think that you might be just applying your correct opinion to the wrong conversation 👍
So are internet comments are terrorism now?
Sad to see how quick lemmy is becoming reddit. I’ve already had lots of DMs from hateful angry folks with rage problems who take words on their web browser way too seriously.
and the dumbos who go around downvoting all your comments because of one they didn’t like.
Lemmy is not a monolith. Sign up somewhere else or make your own communities.
But you jumping to “comments are terrorism now” leads me to believe your experiences may not be so one sided.
my experience is that people are idiots. no matter where you go irl or on the internet. and will willfully be offended at the slightest disagreement or hint that they wont’ get their way.
‘just go somewhere else!’ - this is the same thinking that is the usa housing and immigration crisis. head in the sand nonsense, blaming other people, and then jerk yourself off about what a saint and divine patron of lemmy you are.
who on earth said terrorism? bwahaha
Nobody did, they just needed an excuse to be mad. Sad!
Sad to see how quickly Lemmy is becoming like Reddit.
Every time someone says LEMMY IS JUST LIKE REDDIT a puppy dies.
