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.

      Lemmy and Kbin sites need to implement basic block lists… the terrible mastodon/akoma/pleroma/friendica sites all need to be banned here too or they will make your day bad.

        And here-in lies the downfall of Lemmy. Federation can’t be an automatic thing. Communities need to be vetted before their content becomes visible on other instances. The Federation concept will work, but not the way it’s currently designed.

          Federation can be automatic - people just need to go find the block lists where the work is already done.
