With the Toot app you can elect to just report to your local instance.

@anderspuck in case you haven't seen it, they are working on mitigating it https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110310670042459716

@Herover Thanks. I hadn't seen that.

@anderspuck @Herover yep. There was a big spam attack on mastodon.social. It was resolved pretty quickly.

@anderspuck @saustrup usually when you report them, they bubble up to the other servers as well - at least in the glitch fork I use :)

anderspuck, 1 year ago

@jippi @saustrup Ok, so reporting a user will send a report to both my admin (in this case myself) and their admin?

jippi, 1 year ago

@anderspuck @saustrup "yes" - it depends, but generally, yes.

@jippi @anderspuck @saustrup Usually, when you report a user it will prompt you if you want to send a report to the user's instance. (at least that's my experience)

@aurochs @jippi @saustrup Ok thanks. I did it from an app, and it didn’t ask me.

@anderspuck @jippi @saustrup I have not reported anyone yet from my smartphone (where I use Tusky), using the web browser it did.
Happy reporting!

@aurochs @jippi @saustrup I probably won’t do it very much. But since I am a server admin I do have a responsibility for knowing how this stuff works.

@anderspuck @aurochs @jippi I for one have taken the expression "fake it until you make it" to heart in this regard. The server is neither in flames nor being overrun by orcs, so I must be doing something right! :D

@jippi @anderspuck same on my vanilla Mastodon. Accounts were suspended before I saw the report.
