Are there any rules on Lemmy.World about communities where the only poster is someone spam posting inflammatory links? It’s easy enough to block those communities, but I imagine this is going to be off-putting for some new users not acclimated to the federated style of Lemmy.
Also if rules are being broken by community moderators then the only people that can moderate a moderator is an admin and I’m not sure there are enough to find all of this.
I suspect that people in that community have an intention of discussing such things rather than just posting to cause arguments. I don’t think anyone would believe veganism is intentionally inflammatory.
Define “intentionally inflammatory.” Reddit was always very left-leaning politically, so I assume the userbase here is similar. I suspect conservative memes/links/etc. would be considered intentionally inflammatory here in a way that leftist memes/links/etc. would not. It’s not really possible to define a one-size-fits-all definition: One person’s inflammatory is another person’s ideal content.
Additionally, define “spamming links.” The biggest problem with Lemmy so far is lack of content. If I go to the baseball subreddit, for instance, I see a bunch of highlights from the games that took place last night, a bunch of discussions on World Series odds, a bunch of questions about stats, etc. Over here, none of that exists yet. A few people have tried to build individual communities by posting similar content over here. It probably looks like spamming a bunch of links to MLB’s website for highlight videos. However, without someone spamming those links, the community is basically dead with nothing to comment on. We probably need a little spamming at the outset to grow the community to be large enough to sustain itself organically.
I’ve seen some really nasty bigoted anti-jewish, anti-trans and anti-LGBT shit on exploding-heads which makes me question why we federate with them.
There is no anti jewish posts on ex-heads, you are leftwing nationalsocialist and pathological liar, you are more disgusting than hitler
I think you have only talked about yourself asshole, the rules say no nazi content so you must be the only nazi on ex-heads, dumbass
leftists: support fascism leftist also: reee Nazis!1!1!59949

I think the main problem is how do you report communities or posts to admins rather than community moderators whom may be the ones breaking rules? You can freely make infinite communities so they become unmoderateable just by doing so.
Reports get sent to both the community mods, and your local admins. If that’s not effective, then you could always just send a private message to the admins of the instance hosting the community.
