I recently reported harcesz @szmer.info on the lemmy.ml memes community for spreading Nazi propaganda. After they were banned they then used their admin alt account kolektyw_szmer @szmer.info to view that I had reported them and began harassing me in my messages for it (I know it’s the same person as they forgot to switch off their admin account for the first message they sent before quickly deleting it and sending it with their non admin account but I saw it). That brings me back to my title question if I report them will the report simply go to their alt or to the local instance admins? I am asking here as opposed to any of the main fediverse comms as I know they have here blocked so I’m hoping it’ll avoid them jumping back into my messages.
Unless something’s changed or my understanding is incorrect:
- comm mods (not applicable to DMs)
- your site admins
- their site admins
Ok so it still is worth reporting them. Good to know thank you.
I thought it went to all admins?
Nope just your admins, their admins, and the communities mods and admins
Lemmy really did an L with not making forwarded reports anonymous like Mastodon. In that case he’d just see that someone from lemmy.ml reported him.
Either way, block and move on. I’ve learned enough about him talking on Matrix (dude legit wanted to disable federation on Szmer if it were not possible to defed Lemmygrad, we’re squatting on so much space in their heads)
