A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

If I recall correctly, lemmy.doesnotexist.club also has some Nicole problems.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Should I be worried that I know precisely what you're referring to?

Also, report and block is all fine and well, but my client and the web client both automatically load the image, so the miscreants know precisely which account opened it.

Not to mention that I have to open the account to block it.

Is there a better way?

Wondering this, too. I have two 'nicole' messages in my queue, but don't want to open them because that provides information to the nicol-a-rati.

You are literally linking to the post I crossposted.

Do some lemmy clients not distinguish crossposts?

Edit: I’m wrong, see comments below.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crosspost? It's the same community.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay. I see what happened lol. Someone who is instance banned from my instance first posted it on this community. Then someone crossposted to another community. Since the OP was instance banned, for me the crosspost read as the OP, and then I crossposted it to the community it was originally posted in 😭.

(This is the ugly side of federation).
