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.
Lemmy devs NEED to take action on this and implement report differentiation. I was banned from some midwest.social communities for similar. Lowly community mods should NOT be able to ban users for reporting instance/TOS offenses.
Or at least a community ban should not prevent you from making reports to admins.
downside of lemmy is you can delete your vps, buy another one, install yunohost, buy a cheap domain and have your own lemmy instance federating pretty quick/cheap if you get blocked, especially if you use some pay by the hour vps
This person isn’t doing that though, they’re clearly freebooting off other instances.
I thought instance admins had to approve any new created community. Allowing anyone to create a community without any supervision sounds dumb.
SDF admin finally remembered he has a Lemmy instance, and that fucker is now gone.
Hopefully they implement a little more oversight to avoid more “mods are asleep” situations. You don’t need instant response times. But when people start escalating and looking for you on other services entirely, and it still takes over twenty-four hours, over abject blatant bigotry - deputize some mods.

As far as I’m concerned, sdf is gone too. (edit: their Lemmy instance, not the org itself.)

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 !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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*.
