I really miss being able to downvote bigotry and harmful content across the fediverse. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I agree with this wholeheartedly, though I'll probably have to actually go ahead and live by it too.

Relatedly, what does happen when you report a post or comment? Who does it go to? Presumably the community's moderators, but which of the admins receive the report? There's potentially three instances involved: Your own, the instance of the poster, and the instance that hosts the community it was posted to.

When someone makes a report, it can go up to 3 separate instances.

The admins of the instance of the person making the report.
The admins of the instance where the reported account is based.
The moderators and admins of the instance where the community the post was made to is located.

Where it gets complicated, is that only one report appears on each instance. And if one person marks it as complete, no one else sees it…

So, you can end up with situations where the bigot's account is on the same instance as the community they're posting in, the moderators might remove the post and ban the person from that community, but because the mods close the report, the admin never sees it, so someone that should be banned from the instance stays active, because the people capable of banning the entire account aren't aware of the problem
