Just out of curiosity, how do you report an authority figure (or how have you)?

Suppose you've come across someone running the place and there are examples of a case that can be made that they've broken rules. What next?

Report it on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Trouble is, the offender run the place and the rule is on another place. Even so, it's Davel, he's the higher up and the higher up higher than him has his back, there's no one you can report to, except the higher up of your instance.
- One would think the least that could happen is defederation (is that what they call it). How do you otherwise enforce terms if someone acts all untouchable? Does the "if you can't beat them, join them" rule apply here?
Put simply: the doxing happened on lemmy.ml

The rule you pointed to is on lemmy.world

Different instances. Different rules. Add to that the fact that that asshat is a admin for lemmy.ml, and nothing is going to happen without a court injunction.
- I guess the best way the everyman can get away with something is to do it in another state, if anyone finds out they want to and knows they're not going to be defederated as they call it.
  
  10/10 for the video. No notes
I advocated for defederation of ML. But unfortunately my instance's admins are totally ok with their admins' behaviour, even when it does violate ML's own rules.
- I was wrongf.
  
  What were you wrong about?
