Hey, so I’m on a different instance, and I hope it’s not out of place for me to post here. I really like Mbin for its design and features, and I made this account specifically for interacting with LGBTQ+ posts.
Anyway, there are a few things I’d like to discuss, if that’s okay.
First, I’d like to know if it’s necessary for me to report posts if they’ve already been reported on Blahaj. Like, is it just a federation delay that causes the bad posts to still be visible for a while, or is my reporting necessary to get them removed?
I’ve noticed that the recent troll posts are coming from lemmy.today and eviltoast.org, and I’m wondering if these instances should maybe be considered for de-federation from Blahaj. It seems like one or two users are ban-evading by making new accounts on these two instances. Are there any legit users that would be affected by this de-federation?
Also, I wonder if I made a mistake by boosting a few threads recently. Like did I accidentally get the attention of these transphobes? Should I refrain from boosting?
Again, I hope it’s okay for me to post this here.
If reports are federating across, then a good deal of them could be from me. Is it necessary to report each one, so they can all be dealt with, or is that just annoying? I thought that they stack to the same user and that mods can easily mass-delete. Is that not how it works?
I genuinely do not know, I just know that a fellow mod banned and removed all posts, and I had nothing better to do than take care of it as I wait to pass out.
I’m not gonna get mad at you or other users for reporting bigots and rule breakers. If I came across as mad at you or the other reporters, that is not my intentions as I am just up at 3 AM for some reason.
Nope, each report comes through as a seperate report. If multiple people report the same post, then that’s multiple reports, one after the other. If someone reports every post from a user, that’s multiple reports.
The best thing you can do is a few reports, and if you find more, make another report saying “All of this accounts posts are trolls, and need to be removed”, because we have an option to ban someone and remove all of their content.
