Reported less than five of this dipshit’s posts and he ended up banning me from all of his communities. Doesn’t really surprise me. I’ve known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy’s devs never listen.
My advice is to just send messages directly to your Admins as well as his admins, then he can’t intercept them.
Yeah, the person being reported shouldn’t get the report and they currently do if they Mod the forum the post is on or Admin the instance the post is on, the reporter is on and the reportee is on. That’s open to abuse.
You also have no control over whether reports federate out to other admins, Carcosa showed that with their bad faith accusations that I was replying to them via reports in [email protected] when I was actually reporting them for being an ass and violating the community’s and instance rules. On Mastodon I would’ve simply unticked the Forward report to Hexbear option, but Lemmy doesn’t let you do that, it by default pulls out all the stops to let everyone know it’s being reported, with no discretion whatsoever. I’m kinda surprised they don’t just make them publicly visible to everyone *sarcasm*.
