several posts per day here are a clear troll posts and bids for drama but are not removed. until this community’s mods start acknowledging and responding to this problem, this community is simply providing a platform for drama fiends who get off on making you upset. simply put, this is both destructive and frankly not fun.
and i’d like to point out that reddit’s r/unpopularopinion bans political posts. not saying that this is the best move for this sub in particular, but it is something that can perhaps give guidance on what can be done.
Is that how it works? It doesn’t go to the owners of the instance where the community exists but to where ever my home port is so to speak?
I think it goes to both?
That doesn’t seem right. I could host my own instance and if someone was posting extreme content on Lemmy.World I don’t think a report would bounce back to me.
If I reported content from exploding-heads for being alt-right because it was against my instance’s rules but it was fine on their instance it might make sense but that kind of seems like it’s going in circles. Especially when I don’t think you can report specific communities. You’d need to either report users or individual posts at that point.
+1 for a very good question we all seem iffy on. is there documentation on the process and channels for what reporting does on lemmy?
I made a post on !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml about this you can find here if you want to find out with me. Tagging @rimu@piefed.social in case they want to hear from the Lemmy masters too.
