Can someome who speaks internet tell me what
Med spam
means?
I assume “Medicine” and/or “Medical”
I’m so sorry that happened to me.
I assume by “subreddit” you mean Lemmy Community?
So, you created and moderate !buyselltrade@lemmy.sdf.org , you posted something there. Someone clicked “Create Report”, and as a result you (the moderator of that community) received a report. Naturally, you didn’t ban yourself. But, somehow you were banned from discuss.tchncs.de? Do the admins of that site receive a report if one of their users reports something? Or, was there a separate report that they acted on?
In a way though, I guess this is working as intended with distributed moderation. If someone had a Hitler fan club community on their own server nobody could make them shut it down, but the existence of that community might be enough to warrant banning them and/or defederating their instance. But, I’d assume there was a separate report requesting that you be banned from their community that went to their moderators.
What’s funny about this is that the complaint was “Med spam”. Lemmy is a “pull” design, you don’t get community posts sent to you, you have to go out looking for them. So, this is a bit like choosing to go to a steakhouse and then leaving a bad review because they didn’t have good vegan options.
Do the admins of that site receive a report if one of their users reports something?
Reports go to four places:
- The community moderators.
- The admins of the instance the community is hosted in. (
lemmy.sdf.org
) - The admins of the instance the reporting user is from. (
discuss.tchncs.de
) - The admins of the instance the reported user is from. (also
lemmy.sdf.org
in this case)
So yeah, the admins of
discuss.tchncs.de
acted in this case. Why? I’m not sure.(cc @qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org)
I have bot’s disabled in my lemmys settings, why is this showing???
Yeah, but, you got any more of them granules?
Haha. The addict in me first thought, what kinda granules my dude got?
