This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.
Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.
Shit like this is why Lemmy isn’t a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.
We can’t pretend this is just a Lemmy issue. But I agree with your sentiment.
Isn’t the recourse to ask the instance admin to intervene?
Yup. Except the report button goes nowhere.
Try doing it via the browser instead of using the app and it should work!
Wouldn’t the report just go to the moderator, who can disregard it?
