I’m not a mod here, but the lemmy.world admins have set me up with some tools and bots to take care of trouble makers.
So the reports never made it to me because I’m not a mod.
A bot got the reports showing the offensive subject and a button for “Perma Ban” and it looked (to me) like the Perma Ban had already been enabled.
It now looks like it wasn’t. :(
So this post was brought to the attention of an Admin chat that I’m part of, I ran down the post manually and hit it with the ban-hammer bot as well as going back through the bot posts and making sure the Perma Ban option was triggered.
HOPEFULLY it’s gone now. The user should be permanently banned as well.
Because while I am a lemmy.world mod, I’m not a mod for lemmyshitpost.
I see all the reports for Politics and World News and a few other TINY communities (hello Comic Books!) but I wouldn’t ordinarily see the reports for lemmyshitpost.
That’s where the bot comes in. Multiple reports happening really quickly get reported to Discord and then all of us can go “Whoah, what’s going on?”
If we click the link and it’s legit bad, there’s a Perma Ban button that any of us can use even if we aren’t a mod on that community.
In my case, I clicked the link in Discord and the post didn’t load and I was like “Cool! Already done! One less thing to worry about!”
But that wasn’t because it was resolved, it was because I had blocked lemmyshitpost from my personal feed. :(
I realized what had happened when I saw the discussion this morning, ran down the post and used all the bots to unleash hell. ;)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
So… it’s complicated…

Why does a bot outrank you lol
Thanks for getting rid of it so I never had to see it.
