Hey, so I'm on a different instance, and I hope it's not out of place for me to post here. I really like Mbin for its design and features, and I made this account specifically for interacting with LGBTQ+ posts.

Anyway, there are a few things I'd like to discuss, if that's okay.

First, I'd like to know if it's necessary for me to report posts if they've already been reported on Blahaj. Like, is it just a federation delay that causes the bad posts to still be visible for a while, or is my reporting necessary to get them removed?

I've noticed that the recent troll posts are coming from lemmy.today and eviltoast.org, and I'm wondering if these instances should maybe be considered for de-federation from Blahaj. It seems like one or two users are ban-evading by making new accounts on these two instances. Are there any legit users that would be affected by this de-federation?

Also, I wonder if I made a mistake by boosting a few threads recently. Like did I accidentally get the attention of these transphobes? Should I refrain from boosting?

Again, I hope it's okay for me to post this here.

Mod from 196 who had nothing else better to do than clear out the mod log of 300+ reports of the same user spamming from the same instance https://files.catbox.moe/rypu0b.png

I fully believe either lemmy.today either supports these actions, can't deal with them, or refuses to deal with them at this point. We've had to clean up so much spam on 196 within the last few days it's getting tedious. Either way, I personally vote for defederation until they clean up their act.

It's genuinely frustrating to deal with all of this. Doesn't help that Lemmy doesn't have good mod tools. At some point I had to double check it was even being cleared, despite the user being banned and all content removed.

We're getting a bot set up that will help with this. It will be fired from matrix, and I'll share the details with you once we've got it set up

Thank you, Ada. That's nice to hear. Sorry you had to design something like this to solve a problem that only exists from lemmy's devs not working on their own successful software.
