Hi,

I have a tiny newsfeed community here on SDF. We got a spam comment by another user registered on the instance. Looking at the account, all it does is link spam. Is there a process to flagging the account for moderation at the instance level, rather than flagging to block in individual communities?

Account in question: https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/dordle12

    no worries👍

    My question is wondering how I can report the user upstream to the instance admins.

    within Lemmy, one way is to direct message the admins by checking the instance’s main site sidebar (as it typically lists all mods and admins of the instance)

    for P.d I typically chat with fellow mods and admins in our Discord/Matrix channels, not sure about sdf but I’d recommend checking if they also have a Discord/Matrix Chat channels as well

      The only way we’ve been able to reach the admin(s?) in the past has been to ssh into an sdf server and posting on the internal BBS. My bet would be that they are not using Discord or similar.

          they also have an email address: membership at sdf dot org, but yeah, the internal BBS is where it is at.

          We are a public access UNIX system, so it’s not as much of a void as it might seem :D
