As I understand it, user reports go to the community, the community’s instance, as well as the user’s instance if the user is from a separate instance.
My concern is if a user is breaking instance rules across multiple communities it might not rise to a level to catch the attention of instance admins. If my understanding (^) is correct I imagine there is an absolute flood of reports at the instance level making the correlation of reports against a particular user hard to single out.
Is my understanding wrong? Or maybe reports are automatically correlated? Or failing that is there a way to report a user directly to instance admins?
The instances usually provide a contact to reach out to the admins directly in the sidebar. You always have the server sidebar below the community sidebar.
For lemmy world it is a bit confusing because they link to their rules explanation first. This community [email protected] has some infos in the sidebar
