    I just blocked the user in question as well as the whole community.

    Don’t know if it’s the first time for this to happen, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the last. Especially now that it’s discussed, some trolls will board the train and do it, too.

    Even just the slightest risk of some shit like this turning up on my feed is an absolute no-go.

      Looks like the post is taken down or at least i didn’t see it while browsing before stumbling on this post. Thank the admins for getting on that. What’s the user so I can also block them personally. I don’t want to see any of that shit.

        I don’t know about lemmy.world but I assume they “purged” the user instead of banning them (or at least that’s what I did for my instance). Purging wipes all of their data from your instance and exists as a feature basically for this reason. That means that the user wouldn’t have a visible account to ban anymore because it literally removes them from the database.

        Only way to be sure that your server doesn’t have any of their content on it.
