   @neckspike how do they know what instances to forward to? Does the person reporting have to search? Is some list of options provided to them?

     @polotek @neckspike the report is also forwarded to the instances of users that have participated in the conversation. I've seen that multiple times and moderators are often puzzled on why they receive a report from an instance against a user on a third instance. It is not clear on the report why we are receiving it.

     @alxsim @polotek @neckspike this is one of the strangest feature choices made in recent Mastodon memory.

     The THEORY is that you want to know about (potential) abuse involving one of your users (victim, affiliate, etc). But it doesn't always force the report to include the post in question, and sometimes even that post context isn't enough to understand why the report is coming to you, so it's... messy.

     I assume much feedback has been filed and ignored about this (I've given up)
