Disappointing moderation on other instances (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I don't really know which community to post this in, I think this is the most relevant one?

I've recently spent a bit more time on lemmy.world and I have to say they don't seem super keen on removing trolls and transphobes, same for instances like lemmings.world.

The moderators seem to be perfectly aware of transphobic replies, vague threats, misinformation, and obvious trolling, yet they hardly remove any of the offending replies, and rarely if ever ban anyone. Certainly not often enough to make the network less toxic.

This post was mostly to vent, but I would also like to ask: when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I'm reporting from?

Sorry if this is the wrong place.

I just want to inject something here.

This community and others like it exist on blahaj, because this instance focuses on the needs of trans and queer folk first and foremost. And so, trans and queer folk expressing honestly held opinions, are given space to do so.

I've had a chat to the lead mod of that community to address the way moderation is communicated, but I don't plan on telling them what they can communicate. These folk are going to experience the results of the election first hand too, so I'm not going to tell them that they're not allowed to deal with the situation in a particular way.

We have a group for armed queers here too. I'm strongly anti gun myself, but this group too is run by queer and trans folk with genuinely held beliefs trying to deal with a world that is turning against us more and more. I want them to have space that is explicitly inclusive and protective of their needs, even if I don't agree with them, because trans solidarity is the goal.
