This may be of importance to consider. When those in power are bigoted, people feel safer expressing it themselves.
I'm not sure how relevant that is, considering most of the accounts I've seen doing this are from lemmy.world, I've seen some doing it from .ml but most are from .world.
Report them. Transphobia violates the Lemmy.World ToS 1.2. If the community mods don't handle it, then report it to an admin.
Will it reach the admins there if I'm on a different instance? I'm not exactly sure how reports federate but I heard admins on other servers can't see them, or won't always see them.
It will reach both the moderators of the community where it was commented/posted and admins of the instance where the account is made.
Oh, it goes to the account's instance admins, not the community's instance admins? That explains a lot.
Yeah, it's both: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4286
I had a lil dum dum moment. Lol
That's good, the more who receive the reports the better, and the more likely it is something will be done.
Wait, something like that didn't even cross my mind and now I'm questioning myself... Give me a moment to look it up on my phone. Will report back if I get the answer......
You can also just DM an admin directly if there is an issue with a mod
