Created using feedback from https://lemmy.cafe/post/4823550. Maybe this can be useful.
Transcript: See something off? Do your part to keep the Lemmy community safe:
R - Read the rules of the community.
E - Explain your report, including rule # when possible.
P - Provide context the mods should know.
O - Opt-out, disengage, downvote or block. Don’t add to the drama.
R - Reach out or report right away. *For extremely time-sensitive content (CSAM, gore) DM an admin via Matrix: Instance homepage > Sidebar > click admin’s @username > Send Secure Message
T - Trust your instincts. If in doubt, report it.
You must log in or register to comment.
I’ve reported so many posts in the meme community that I either need to completely block it, or get assigned to the moderation team. It is constantly overrun with political propaganda that doesn’t even slightly resemble a meme.
Reported, rule 5
there is no rule 5 dawg
That was the joke
make better jokes imho 😛
I’m not sure “downvote” should be included in Opt-out. Some instances allow a poster to see exactly who downvoted them. If someone is saying something obnoxious or repulsive enough to consider reporting, there’s a good chance they’re doing it on purpose. I don’t need to be on their trolling shit list.

Source or example? 😧 This is new to me.
Encouraging downvotes was a suggestion from the mods, but I will take this into account.
kbin is the first to come to mind.
Look at any post or comment that has downvotes. Click “more”, choose “activity”, then click “reduces”.
Edit: I replied before seeing that others already had. Whoops!
Ooh thanks for the step by step. I was able to identify the one kbin user who downvoted me over the past 24 hours. 😜
Yeah, given this I won’t recommend that kbin users downvote just anything since the platform doesn’t protect their privacy. Lemmy users should be good tho. Thanks! 😊
Kbin is an example. But just due to the nature of the protocol, it has to be stored somewhere but Lemmy also just lets admins view all the individual votes directly in the UI.
Thanks for the example.
Kbin users seeing who downvotes their posts is potentially an issue, but I don’t want to discourage downvoting bad or harmful content for just that reason. The end goal is that bad content gets removed and offending users acted on. So if a Kbin user is abusing the system to harrass or abuse, they should likewise reported and banned.
So are internet comments are terrorism now?
Sad to see how quick lemmy is becoming reddit. I’ve already had lots of DMs from hateful angry folks with rage problems who take words on their web browser way too seriously.
and the dumbos who go around downvoting all your comments because of one they didn’t like.
who on earth said terrorism? bwahaha
Combine the big letter and the word. No need for it twice.
I would also include directions on how exactly to message an admin on Matrix, like where you find their username(s).
change made!

the ‘O’ in REPORT feels like a directive to block, rather than do what you feel you need to avoid being brought into the issue. I’m sure if I put a few minutes into it I could come up with a recommendation on how to change it, but I’m emotionally exhausted today.
I also have some concerns over the recommmendation to block, which I voiced in the original thread. If I block a problematic user, I can no longer help by reporting their posts in the future.
I think the key is to take whatever space is necessary not to make the problem worse for mods. None of those verbs are requirements but rather suggestions to improve the quality of your report.
I welcome any changes to the language to make that more clear though for sure. 👍
honestly might just change the and to or
should fix it 👍 ty
I like it all except the downvote bit. I don’t like downvotes being weaponised moreso than what they already are.
I would push back and say that if something is already so bad it’s worth reporting, it’s not weaponization to also simply downvote.
Unless you were already weaponizing the report feature which is pretty much not a good thing lol.
Let me rephrase. What I feel is that downvoting should be used for legitimate content interaction. i.e. That doesn’t fit this community, that’s not a good post. Not, I don’t like this opinion. I’m saying it should be saved for legitimate communing.
Yeah I agree, I think that you might be just applying your correct opinion to the wrong conversation 👍
Gore is extremely time sensitive?
I wonder what internet I’ve been using for the last 30 years.
i don’t know dawg im just presenting the info the mods gave me 😭
