There is no defining specific rules for this community and it can be anything from "I do not like the weather" to "I've won the jackpot and want to give all the money away to charity!" 😄

Mechanism to report entire communities? (reddthat.com)

Hey Reddthat mods,

Is there a mechanism to report entire communities? I found one that appears to be

trigger warning

pro-pedophilia

but it's the lone mod doing the posting, so sending a report will likely be ignored.

It's a community on this instance.

Relevant post.

Hi @[email protected]

Thank you for reaching out. Reports are finicky with Lemmy, where if a Moderator takes action, it marks the report as resolved for the Admins and vice versa. We investigate reports and make sure to remove content violating our rules to the best of our abilities. If this is not the case, depending on the content/report, we occasionally reach out to the user to clarify our decision and/or discuss the matter in detail.

At the present time this community does not violate our rules. But this scenario is one of those edge cases where it is purely a technicality, one that we have already explicitly discussed in our admin team. We have been drafting new rules to better define what is and is not allowed on Reddthat, as well as a way to make everything a lot clearer.

Currently, you have the ability to block a community if you do not wish to see the content associated with it. This goes for any community in the fediverse as well as any user accounts, with the next Lemmy version 0.19 even for other instances!

Thanks, Tiff! If y'all are okay with that community as it is, I'll just take care of it on my personal end.

Take care!

For what it's worth, we were not happy with the community being on Reddthat. But our original plan was to dot the I's and cross the T's before we removed it by updating our rules so these types of communities didn't pop up again. Currently the rules were made within the first couple days of Reddthat starting. Where I clearly didn't forsee issues like this happening.

But they crossed the line and posted a picture, & that was a enough of an excuse so I said to myself: "Alright that's enough of your shit" and sent them into purgatory.

After chatting with other admins, it seems we were not the only community, but they had created multiple alt's around the fediverse and were been doing the same on other servers.

Thanks for reporting & bringing it to everyone's attention. Everyone is always more than welcome to contact us all here about anything!

Are you unable to ignore someone saying things you dislike?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Nope. Watch as I block you.
