Luckily I haven’t really had people post rule-breaking content in my communities. Nobody posting bitcoin spam, being nasty towards other users, or breaking a rule that you cannot just assume exists (I’d assume “do not be mean, do not spam/post on-topic things” to be universal) and would have to actually read the sidebar for (like no posts about humans in bunny suits in [email protected]). I was wondering if this is most mods’ experience on Lemmy.

    Small communities don’t see much of that because only people actively subscribing usually get to see the posts. But once a community gets big enough for upvotes causing it to show up in the all feed on other instances the trolls and debate-bros show up.

    Constantly, but it depends on the community and the rules.

    Like media_reviews is very chill

    However for health or diet communities people get very emotional

      block buttons have been around almost just a long and make it super easy to just not interact with accounts you personally dislike or find annoying.

      The number of people who never block things they don’t like, but take it as a personal mission to downvote every single thing they see is just astonishing… forget the negativity, surely they would rather spend their time on things they actually like?

    Yeah, haven’t had to remove too much so far. Mostly just a few off-topic or obvious spam posts. Then again, the communities I moderate aren’t that large.

    Had to remove spam and some overly obnoxious shit-posting a few times.

    Nope! I’ve had someone report my own posts, though, which was a little weird but warranted. Resolved the issues quite quickly
