There's a few users I've been keeping an eye on after seeing them post misinformation and hate speech. Just keeping a list for now because I don't know how to report them. Where should I go to do this?

Next to the boost button there is one that says “more”, tap on that then report. On mobile through the browser anyway

I've always enjoyed this mindsight since the games are about killing the Devil.

Please someone report my reply, I want to see what happens at my end (I am admin of my instance), if anything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I reported, I think it goes to a mod, and not the instance owner?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Ok, I just reported you here on Kbin.social, not sure if it went through though as clicking the button didn't close the report box or anything, but that could just be a missing UI feature.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I did it lol I'm curious what happens too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

FYI it's been 10 minutes and nothing happened.

I'm going to have to close registrations on my instance because if anyone on my instance misbehaves and people report their trolling/spam, I will not be notified.

I reported. The results might be different if the report comes from someone on your own instance, so you might want to sign up with a dummy account on your own instance and report yourself.

Gonna have a wild guess here and assume that mutant is on that list.

I found a great way to deal with mutant

Blocking makes your experience more pleasant, but it doesn't protect the community. If the community doesn't defend itself, it will become worse and worse over time until it is no longer a place you want to be. Recommend reading.
