Report Function? (tkohhh.social)

I'm a little confused as to how the "report" function works. I'm an instance admin, but if I report a post on another instance, that report shows up in MY report queue. If I mark that report as "resolved" to get rid of the notification count, does it resolve it on the home instance?

If this is true, what is the admin of the reporting user even supposed to do

Decide what instances to defederate. They can check up on:

Mods of other instances to see if they take appropriate action on reports.
Admins of other instances to see if they take action against bad-faith mods.
Admins of other instances who generate a disproportionate number of reports per capita, to address structural, cultural, or policy issues that lead the offending instance to be a bigger source of pain/reports than others.

And finally they can defederate if they don't like what they find.
