Admins see the same reports that mods do, so if the mods leave a report unresolved then it will remain unresolved for admins as well. But with that said, I don’t know who manages sdf.org’s sole admin account or how often—if ever—reports are reviewed by it.
Comment on How does SDF handle moderating spambots?
ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months agoThank you for the tips.
I’m a moderator on the community where I encountered the spambot account, and already banned it there. My question is wondering how I can report the user upstream to the instance admins. I’m not very familiar with Lemmy, I see that there’s a modlog, so perhaps the SDF admins would need to monitor it and act based on the user getting banned from one of their communities?

no worries👍
within Lemmy, one way is to direct message the admins by checking the instance’s main site sidebar (as it typically lists all mods and admins of the instance)
for P.d I typically chat with fellow mods and admins in our Discord/Matrix channels, not sure about sdf but I’d recommend checking if they also have a Discord/Matrix Chat channels as well

The only way we’ve been able to reach the admin(s?) in the past has been to ssh into an sdf server and posting on the internal BBS. My bet would be that they are not using Discord or similar.

OOF
that sounds pretty brutal,
it’s like the equivalent of shouting into the void
