Seems like there's basically no effort to address disinformation. I love the idea of the fediverse, but I've never told a single person I use it in well over a year because I'd be embarrassed if they ever visited and saw some of the content that gets upvoted here.
I mean, Lemmy devs are tankies, who participate in misinformation sharing.
If you see some, report it. Some of us admins of other Lemmy instances take disinformation seriously.
Literally had a Hexbear user double down advocating for violence towards America after I told them it’s not a constructive way to go about holding the leadership accountable.
Thank you for your efforts, I have so much respect for the people who are helping to build a healthy fediverse.
Does a report go to the instance's admin?
Does a report go to the instance's admin?
It goes to the mods and to the admins of either the reporting user's instance or the instance of the user being reported.
So whenever a lemmings.world user reports something, I know about it and whenever something by a lemmings.world user is reported, I know about it as well.
I personally don't moderate content that breaks community rules, I think that's the mods responsibility/privilege, but if it breaks instance rules, I deal with the comment/post/pm myself. Some of the other admins I know moderate the same way.
Do you have examples?
Do you have Hexbear and the .ml instances blocked?
Hexbear yes, ml no
