I think desperation of devs, admins and users is exactly the sentiment the trolls were trying to elicit. Lemmy is a young project, and this is one of many hurdles it’ll need to overcome on its path.

I like the idea of removal flags propagating through the network, at least as an additional signal. Forcing removal everywhere on a single removal signal on a single instance would probably be too jumpy (e.g. a sfw instance might prevent any instance from hosting nsfw content), but some configurable rules and thresholds paired with removal reason context might significantly automate the process.

The reason I especially like this suggestion is because smaller instances can benefit from any automation that is affordable by larger ones
