(lemmy.cafe)
Created using feedback from https://lemmy.cafe/post/4823550. Maybe this can be useful.
Transcript: See something off? Do your part to keep the Lemmy community safe:
R - Read the rules of the community.
E - Explain your report, including rule # when possible.
P - Provide context the mods should know.
O - Opt-out, disengage, downvote or block. Don't add to the drama.
R - Reach out or report right away. *For extremely time-sensitive content (CSAM, gore) DM an admin via Matrix: Instance homepage > Sidebar > click admin's @username > Send Secure Message
T - Trust your instincts. If in doubt, report it.
I like it all except the downvote bit. I don't like downvotes being weaponised moreso than what they already are.
I would push back and say that if something is already so bad it’s worth reporting, it’s not weaponization to also simply downvote.
Unless you were already weaponizing the report feature which is pretty much not a good thing lol.
Let me rephrase. What I feel is that downvoting should be used for legitimate content interaction. i.e. That doesn't fit this community, that's not a good post. Not, I don't like this opinion. I'm saying it should be saved for legitimate communing.
Yeah I agree, I think that you might be just applying your correct opinion to the wrong conversation 👍
