And Lemmy has an issue with it's backend implementation which sometimes causes multiple copies of a comment being posted without the posters knowledge.
It then gets flagged as spam and the poster banned. Ask me how I know.
PTB, publicly outing reports and trying to intimidate them is not cool, if you want to discuss someone's reports with them, do it in their DMs.
Also here's a tip for any admin or mod wishing to discuss the report with someone. Quote the report you're addressing. I can't see my own reports, so if an admin or mod wanted to discuss the last reports I made, it's possible I would have to think really hard to remember what he was talking about, or just flat out not remember. Because I do make a lot of reports, unfortunately, as there is a lot of problematic content and users out there.
Edit: I did make an issue in the Lemmy GitHub requesting this feature, so if you agree that this could be useful I suggest you go express the desire for such a feature over there. I included being able to edit and delete reports, but if that's too much at least the ability to read my own reports I've sent.
Example of a DM that a Mod or admin could use to address reports with someone
Text from report
(can include multiple reports here with gaps between them as needed)
[content of their message addressing the report to the user]
In my experience, mods in general have gotten extremely bad. Lemmy, reddit, basically all social media is being moderated without the least amount of professionality, standard or competency.
They allow dis- & misinformation on a news community and threaten you when you report even the most obvious Tankie propaganda, which is why I blocked it. Not the only dumb take I've seen from them.
PTB. Squid is a prolific poster, but seems to take things personally very quickly.
If you're going to abuse your powers, you should do so by abstract principles, like whether or not a commenter likes pineapple on their pizza, not how they react towards you!
I'm not surprised considering that incident with flying squid on that one post where they basically denied that people can't get trauma from their parents showing nude childhood pictures of them without permission to other people just because they didn't get trauma
Not everyone's mind is the same otherwise the human race would have been extinct long ago
Something has always felt off to me with flyingsquids attitude and they need to be looked into
I reported them to lemmy.world admins for one of their comment threads (it was the one on that post with the comic pointing put double standards with childhood nude pictures) because it gave me the ick but the admins had no problem with it
I think it's part of why I'm glad I moved over to lemm.ee
