Edit: I've gone and done it. This won't be a common occurrence but I think it is necessary for some users. Hopefully this won't bite me in the ass lmao. Thanks for helping everyone!

Hey everyone. On privacy I generally recognize a lot of people, most are good. But occasionally I encounter someone who I've seen say horrible shit. This is about one:

Mainly they've said some incredibly racist shit, including about my race >:(. Of course I'd ban them, but they said all of this outside the community. I feel it's odd to ban people I don't like for their behavior outside the community.

I've gone pretty lax modding, only banning if you said really shitty stuff only on my community. But I don't want to build a community filled with these types of people.

I also don't want the community to have a bad reputation of banning people I don't like but this guys a known racist.

I'm feeling very conflicted, can anyone help?

PS: the things he said was about Arabs being murderers and rapists. And some racism to Slavs too

I was the most trigger happy reddit mod back in the day but banning people for offences in other communities was something even I didn’t do. But if it’s what you say it is then that’s irrelevant.

Racism should break any civilised instance rules so report it for abuse to the admin. If it’s one of the more controversial instances that lemm.ee federates with you might consider that as a sign that federation policy might be the problem.

Damn, I'm evolving to a reddit mod lol

But the instance itself is fine. I didn't think reporting to the instance since most instances allow the shittiest people, no matter how much they are hated or infamous for it. But I'll try. If it didn't work then too bad, it'll be out my hands then. Thanks
