Can’t remember exactly where or about whom I reported but it was to the effect of “someone please kill [this person]”

For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the “victim” is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didn’t even register that the person I was “defending” was rich—I’m just aware that calls to violence are against most instances’ 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 “lib” 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 I’m wrong, isn’t 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. I’m honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss !theonion@midwest.social) and curious what yall think. :)
It really feels like the mod tools of lemmy need to be a bit more fine grained. A button to ignore all further reports from a person would have gone a long way here.
I think that would be a very good feature, Also I honestly think Federated reports should have user-data stripped out of them. Just like on Mastodon, it prevents harassment and abuse from malicious remote servers towards the users who reported the content.
Probably also don't show it to community mods, I was abused and harassed relentlessly by a malicious community mod who used my reports as fuel for more abusive behavior.
i.e. Instead of a report coming from me on this server, you'd see it as from lemmy.dbzer0.com, and for mods on the same server it would say "local user report" but still show the name to admins.
Admins could configure if local mods could see report names but remote mods and remote server admins would just see domain name.
