I don't really know which community to post this in, I think this is the most relevant one?

I've recently spent a bit more time on lemmy.world and I have to say they don't seem super keen on removing trolls and transphobes, same for instances like lemmings.world.

The moderators seem to be perfectly aware of transphobic replies, vague threats, misinformation, and obvious trolling, yet they hardly remove any of the offending replies, and rarely if ever ban anyone. Certainly not often enough to make the network less toxic.

This post was mostly to vent, but I would also like to ask: when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I'm reporting from?

Sorry if this is the wrong place.

I noticed months ago that transphobic comments were being tolerated in communities on lemmy.world, which was one of several things that disillusioned me of the instance. Unfortunately I didn't take screenshots, so I can't recall exactly which communities I saw such comments, and I'd really hate to speculate. The comments I saw left up were the usual TERFy hot takes about women's sports.

Reports go directly to the community moderators, and you can find that list in the sidebar aka under "community info."

Reports may also go directly to admins, but I'm not sure. If you have an instance level concern, it's probably best to contact an admin.

Reports do go to admins, at least on this instance. There's a bot that shows lemmy reports on a matrix channel. Not sure if there's a generic Lemmy interface that sends reports to admins, though.

Thank you for confirming this. I don't use matrix so I didn't know.
