This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.

Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.

Shit like this is why Lemmy isn't a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.

Yes and I find it very strange. The few reports I've seen on my communities show who reported, what was reported, and the reason given

Edit: also as a mod I feel that knowing who reported something isn't necessary? The only thing I can truly think of is so mods can do something about report spam or false reporting, but to me a better solution would be having it hidden to mods, and visible to admins if it needs to be investigated for report abuse/spam/etc.?

Mods are moderating, they should know who reports what. Anonymous reports don't work and lead to abuse.
