The post has been up for five hours. Has it been reported? And if so what are the mods doing?
If you ask me the mods on Lemmy don’t help. Maybe the tools they have are shit?

mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoI love this comment so much. One of the biggest things that destroyed the quality of Reddit, although this is almost never talked about, was the trend of shoehorning the same topic into every subreddit, no matter how niche. Then to make matters worse, people will insist on leaving the post in an unsuitable just because they like the sentiment of the post. But over time this means that the purpose of communities completely breaks down, and the whole site just becomes “different formats for us all to express the same take on the same current event”. Absolutely insidious. Entire purpose of communities is so that people can customize their experience and see different types of content depending on what they’re interested in. Forcing the same topic into every community not only makes the service insufferable, but it also means there’s no point to joining small communities or contributing to them. You devolve to everyone just looking at the top most popular stuff, because all they would see anywhere else is just cutesy forced variants on that same thing anyways. Do not force topics into every community.
Again: Do not force topics into every community.

It has been reported, yes. I got the report because it was an aussie.zone user who reported it. As an admin, I can remove the post, but that will only remove it for aussie.zone users.
For reports on communities on other instances, I rarely take action unless one of my users is causing issues or the post is spam/something super nasty.

And, IMO, it’s inappropriate for an instance admin to remove a post for violating a community’s rules.
As a reporter, I wish there were a way to direct where my reports go. The vast majority of the time I’m reporting something it’s because of either violating the community’s rules or because I think the reported content’s author’s instance admins should be aware. I very rarely think you should be seeing it or taking action.

Interesting. Sounds like the tools you have at your disposal aren’t as mature as they need to be.

Thank you for so eloquently putting why I hate seeing this here!
