    Can someone elaborate more on what’s going on? Did this person actually think that if you posted to a community on a different instance, that they couldn’t remove the contents?

      Maybe? The modlog shows they’ve also been banned from that community.

      Given they’re running their own instance, I’m sure they’ll be back with a new account, so maybe the admins will block or defederate that instance.

      When you get reported it goes to the mods of the community, the admins of that server, and the admins of your server. Or so I’m led to believe.

      Perhaps someone intended to report them to that community and didn’t know their admins would get it too.

        this is correct.

        i know some have suggested a feature change to Lemmy to allow us to chose to which party(s) the reports go to, but in the meantime the limitation precipitates a sort of gentleman’s agreement among admins (or at least admins that want to remain federated) not to abuse the reports that are clearly not for them.

      yes, or at least didn’t care about the consequences of abusing admin responsibility and flaunting federation privileges.
