For couple of hours browsing New/All the feed is filled with spambots advertising porn on a very shady domains. Lemmy doesn't seem to have option to report users so I've been just blocking them (there's not THAT many to block after all) but that got me thinking what would be the best way to report spam accounts and how reporting posts actually work.

If I report a post on sopuli does the notification go to admins at spammers home instance since I don't think sopuli admins can do much for individual users on other host? And if there's any tools (existing or planned) which would help with situations like this?

Wow. I had no idea. I’ve got the NSFW filter and don’t see anything like that. I turned it off for a sec and sorted by new, and there’s a lot of potentially dangerous stuff. I hadn’t seen that before at that level. I hope they take action on that.

I don’t think just blocking Random is safe overall if those kind of filthy things are hitting the Kbik.Social server.
