For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the “victim” is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didn’t even register that the person I was “defending” was rich—I’m just aware that calls to violence are against most instances’ terms of service (due to legal threats). Genuinely sorry seahorse! I wish you just had something in your instance sidebar or even spoke to me instead of jumping to ban and “lib” insults!

Unverifiable information you will have to take my word for (per community rules)

Apologized to seahorse and got:

My own personal curiosities only adjacently related

Correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t this a bit of an abuse of federation? This is the same admin that pulled the move with the doxxing of Nick Fuentes. By banning users for reporting content that may violate our local instance rules, seahorse is making our local instances harder to moderate for our admins. (Honestly I respect the commitment to the running a very open and uncensored instance, but until Lemmy has the option to only report to local admins versus local & federated authorities, this may not be the best strategy?)

Anyway, this is pretty interesting. I’m honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss [email protected]) and curious what yall think. :)

    You might want to look up the definition of corporal punishment, because you are absolutely opposing corporal punishment when you report a post that advocates violence as punishment.

    Being opposed to corporal punishment by default is not a bad thing.

      goodness :( please read the post. admins. can get. in legal. trouble. for. calls. to. violence.

      the report is just me giving them the heads up that the content exists, nothing more, not me trying to censor others, not some political statement, and certainly not a moral one.

      admins are free to ignore my reports. in fact, i hope they do, and perhaps let me know when and where they are not necessary.

      i have read your post. PLEASE read mine. 😭

        So what you’re saying is you don’t really care if there’s call for violence and are indifferent to people being killed/attacked because of it. All you care about is protecting the instances and its admins legally?

          sure. whatever. not the most accurate description of what im saying but a lot damn closer than other people have been.

          • i don’t characterize it as “protecting” im literally just hilighting a potential issue that can be ignored or addressed.
          • i am not indifferent to any violence and my relationship to violence does not play into my decision to report content.

          i don’t understand why you and others think there is such a moral mesage behind clicking the report button. it’s two clicks and a text field to say “hey, found this, wanted to bring it to your attention but it’s not up to me in the end.”
