    I assume by “subreddit” you mean Lemmy Community?

    So, you created and moderate !buyselltrade@lemmy.sdf.org , you posted something there. Someone clicked “Create Report”, and as a result you (the moderator of that community) received a report. Naturally, you didn’t ban yourself. But, somehow you were banned from discuss.tchncs.de? Do the admins of that site receive a report if one of their users reports something? Or, was there a separate report that they acted on?

    In a way though, I guess this is working as intended with distributed moderation. If someone had a Hitler fan club community on their own server nobody could make them shut it down, but the existence of that community might be enough to warrant banning them and/or defederating their instance. But, I’d assume there was a separate report requesting that you be banned from their community that went to their moderators.

    What’s funny about this is that the complaint was “Med spam”. Lemmy is a “pull” design, you don’t get community posts sent to you, you have to go out looking for them. So, this is a bit like choosing to go to a steakhouse and then leaving a bad review because they didn’t have good vegan options.

      Reports go to four places:

      • The community moderators.
      • The admins of the instance the community is hosted in. (lemmy.sdf.org)
      • The admins of the instance the reporting user is from. (discuss.tchncs.de)
      • The admins of the instance the reported user is from. (also lemmy.sdf.org in this case)

      So yeah, the admins of discuss.tchncs.de acted in this case. Why? I’m not sure.

      Looks like they just manually banned the poor guy.

        I’m working nights & saving up so I can afford to go to computer school so I can learn how to click on the right buttons to surf the information superweb and to learn the information I want. I didn’t especially want this information, but it reminded me of what I’m working nights & saving up for.

          I have a problem. This subreddit’s avatar is a telephone. But it is an Ericson-Ddreyfus WE-302. But it is cordless and with 9 push buttons. This is problematic of the circumstances in which this subreddit was instantiated. It neeeds fewer buttons.

    What the heck. Hopefully it was a bad automod behavior, and you aren’t being persecuted for your granules.

    EDIT: Nvm, I see it was a real boy who reported you.
