Be honest, what annoys you the MOST about admin duties ?

It could be anything, not just obvious things, like reports possibly, could be something you do that adds conformity in your instance but requires a little more work for the additional organization. I won't judge !
When people, instead of reporting the content that clearly should be removed by mods (CSAM, unmarked nsfw, spam, hatespeech etc), downvote it into oblivion. It reduces the content's visibility but stays up on the instance
Wow. I must admit, this is interesting hearing from an admin. Would you mind expanding further as to why this bothers you ? I definitely get it, I just think this what many need to hear and from your perspective.
Would lemmy ever integrate a multiple choice report reason option instead or typing in the reason?
Would that be helpful in this ?
Not an admin tho, just an appointed mod
The down voting doesn't bother me, but I get fear of missing out when the post gets hundreds of down votes and zero reports. Then I might notice it and be like why noone told us when a lot of ppl actually saw it.
I get that report button is obnoxious, it gives no feedback, it's unclear how to use it appropriately but mods have no other ways to see this content
In general reports need to be streamlined into an actual ticket-like workflow. Whistleblowers should be able see what was already reported (and what was not). Communication between different levels of mods and admins should be in that ticket, not in personal chats, the mod decision to not act on the content should be visible to the whistleblower. For more feedback about moderation you can ask beehaw s admins. They had a lot of negative experience trying to make Lemmy moderation work
