The execution should have been better, but the decision itself was a team decision, not an individual admin decision without talking to the rest of the team.
I've just described where reports are going in another comment on this post, but to expand on that, reports on the same instance are shared between community mods on the same instance and admins, which means that even though admins may see your report, a moderator resolving the report can also do this in an attempt to avoid the report being seen by an admin.
There are already discussions about improving this experience in general, but this is probably going to take at least several months to significantly improve.
if you're seeing content violating our terms of service, which doesn't get taken down despite your reports, please do reach out via email to info@lemmy.world.
the reporter's instance (Lemmy.World) in your case, where they can be seen by instance admins and also community mods if there are any on this instance
the community's instance, where they can be seen by instance admins of the community's instance, as well as by all community mods that belong to the same instance
starting with 0.19.2, reports will also be sent to the content creator's instance, meaning the person who created the post/comment.
Lemmy.World is not yet on 0.19, so this will not happen today, but it will start being the case when we update in a few days.
Coming back to your reports, I've taken a look at your reports of posts and I can only see 2 reports there, neither one relating to content containing spousal or animal abuse.
To answer your question about reporting options for communities, there is currently no native functionality in lemmy for reporting communities. Only posts, comments and private messages can be reported.
Having said this, many instances provide contact information in the sidebar. For Lemmy.World, you can find this e.g. on https://lemmy.world/.
We absolutely do not tolerate content promoting violence. See also our terms of service about this.
If you see any such content still up at this time and accessible through Lemmy.World, please do not hesitate to report this to us, either via report, or by sending an email to info@lemmy.world if you want to report this privately.
You can also send me a private message with more details.
that's odd, i wonder if that is related to lemmy 0.18.5.
it seems to work fine for me as admin, and i can also do this just fine with a mod account on a lemmy 0.19.3 test instance, so i hope this issue goes away with the update in the next days.
Most of these are unfortunately limited to local instance moderation, which means all instances that don't run these bots don't benefit from them.
The posts have already been modified in ways that they aren't as easy to reliably filter anymore, though still possible with fairly low false positive rate.
To add to this, depending on how content is removed, removal may or may not federate properly. on Lemmy.World, we've been removing content in a way that reliably federates, so while a lot of this spam does arrive in !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !selfhosted@lemmy.world, the removals on Lemmy.World should federate to all other instances (0.18.5+).
