FediTips has moved!Anyone can make a report, it doesn't have to be the OP. I've often reported posts I've seen in other people's threads.
The reporting is so that the admins know to do something.
The ratio of human moderators to users is much higher on here than on Twitter, so the moderation happens through human processes like reports.
The reason Twitter etc use algo is because they don't have enough humans to do anything else.
