Truthfully, bigotry and harmful content should be reported, not downvoted. 🙂 Our local admins are very responsive, and they’ll defederate from any other instances that sanction or defend that stuff.
Yep, this!
A look through the modlog will show you that I'm pretty aggressive with bigots. Downvotes don't mean much when the post is deleted and the user banned!
Is the modlog at the bottom of the page federated too or is it just actions taken on this server? Just curious how it works and all! :)
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.
If you miss downvoting, you can always join a server that has downvoting enabled, which is most of them.
