@adiz @volpeon @lanodan there is this notion with modern humans that they expect there to be a magic button they can push to see bad things taken far away by Responsible Men In Charge. You see it everywhere - on social media with stupid reports like above, in Amazon reviews (OH MY GOD THIS VACUUM CLEANER GAVE ME ASS CANCER 1 STAR DO NOT RECOMMEND), and even in politics. For the latter, whom do you think activists address when they stand in your town square with some stupid sign? Might as well be God, but modern people are mostly atheists and refuse to pray.
Sending reports at any post that might be even remotely offensive is a part of this abhorrent mentality.

@newt @volpeon @adiz Interesting bit is like… I effectively disabled reports on my (single-user) instance ages ago, because all the reports I received where pure garbage with some of them gratuitously insulting.
But it also means that I haven't sent a single report since, like at best it was pinging few admins via DMs and I think I'd still do things that way because I'd rather let them ask questions if they need to.

@lanodan @volpeon @adiz the pleasures of a single-user instance...
Can't afford that, we have around a hundred monthly active users here and some of them occasionally send legit reports. Conversely, I also remember receiving genuine reports for posts on stereophonica, but this is extremely rare. Happened maybe a handful of times.
