I have a hunch. Come to !casualconversation@lemmy.world and report something. I'm going to see if the reporting feature is working.

The report feature is working in 0.18 and 0.19. Admin/mod probably asleep and the asshole know what time to attack. I just banned and purged that asshole from my instance.

Ah yes, the story of every Discord server admin. People always tend to know when someone is asleep for some reason.

I'm not too clear what's your point here?

Not really a "point", just an observation. People wishing to do harm, for some reason, always know when the watchers are away. Like your routine might not even be public, and you turn away for one hour, and suddenly you have to spend the next three cleaning after people.

Ahh, i see. I think it's either they guessed when to strike based on the country of origin of the mods, or it's coincidence.

Reports are typically fine. Theres a couple issues with 0.18 but the amount of people reporting would make up for that. Removed it locally from my instance since some reports came to me fine

I assume it will be snapped soon by lemm.ee or world but its around midnight in the US right now and early morning in europe

It should be noted one of the oversights being worked on right now is that people from one instance who make reports can only have those reports answered in that instance. An admin discovered this and so, being on lemm.ee, the admin asked us to make lemmy world alts. Thus @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world is me.

explain that to me like I'm a senior citizen.

Lemm.ee is an instance. Lemmy.world is an instance. They're two parts of the same website system, but they're also separate in some ways, like two states in the US.

Suppose you're in New York and you go on vacation to Florida. Then say you want to call someone in New York. Your cell phone has a New York number, so it won't work with the cell phone towers near you unless you put in the person's full area code.

Lemmy instances are like that, except there are no area codes. So suppose you're on one Lemmy site and you make a report on someone. The report will only be visible to moderators of the same part of the Lemmy system because there are no area code equivalents on here.

The admin on Lemmy did the equivalent of Commissioner Gordon convincing Batman to be in both New York and Florida at the same time, so that when the Joker strikes, Batman can hear the people in Florida ask for him help from New York.

I just did so. I'm curious to know myself.

Can confirm it works.

So now I just have to wonder why people aren't reporting things they clearly have issues with going by some comments on things in the communities I moderate.

FYI to users who need to understand: Most of the other mods aren't online often and even if I myself am around most of the time, I'm not scrolling single communities; not even the ones I moderate. I rely on the reports to get my attention. So please use the report function if you see something that you know doesn't belong/violates the rules/is child porn/etc.
