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.

    They were small, now they’re not. Just look at the growth rate of these instances. Scaling the moderation team with the influx of new users isn’t easy.

    Go find 100 people you trust who have the time and energy to devote to a largely thankless task. Let me know how long it takes, and how many turn out to be power tripping dbags.
