And Lemmy has an issue with it's backend implementation which sometimes causes multiple copies of a comment being posted without the posters knowledge.
It then gets flagged as spam and the poster banned. Ask me how I know.

CLM - sounds like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world needs to understand the tools a bit more given how active they are.
FlyingSquid needs to be booted from everything they mod.
Turns out I've blocked this user already. Are they a mod?
Apparently so? They’re terminally online so it’s disappointing they don’t understand Lemmy better. Had it been almost any other user I wouldn’t have recognized the name at all.
Is that person a mod? I blocked them and my lemmy experience has been way better.
Same. Literally the only person I've blocked. I also made sure to leave every community they mod. Certainly a vibe I could do without.
PTB, (or maybe just "clueless bastard"?): Ye publicly outing your report because they don't understand lemmy is pretty bad.
PTB, publicly outing reports and trying to intimidate them is not cool, if you want to discuss someone's reports with them, do it in their DMs.
Also here's a tip for any admin or mod wishing to discuss the report with someone. Quote the report you're addressing. I can't see my own reports, so if an admin or mod wanted to discuss the last reports I made, it's possible I would have to think really hard to remember what he was talking about, or just flat out not remember. Because I do make a lot of reports, unfortunately, as there is a lot of problematic content and users out there.
Edit: I did make an issue in the Lemmy GitHub requesting this feature, so if you agree that this could be useful I suggest you go express the desire for such a feature over there. I included being able to edit and delete reports, but if that's too much at least the ability to read my own reports I've sent.
Example of a DM that a Mod or admin could use to address reports with someone

In my experience, mods in general have gotten extremely bad. Lemmy, reddit, basically all social media is being moderated without the least amount of professionality, standard or competency.
That's because professionality, standard and competency take time to foster and cost a lot to maintain.
And usually get paid nothing.
Are we supposed to be elite professionals on our salaries of $0.00?
The good thing is that on the fediverse, you can improve this situation. Either go to an instance that keeps a watchful eye on power tripping mods and ensure mods are fair, or start your own instance to become that.
Squid can be a little quirky like that sometimes.
Sometimes? They are the only person I have ever blocked in all of my years on both reddit or lemmy. Such an odd combination of self importance, rage, entitlement and ego.
I'd almost forgotten about them until they showed up in a screenshot for being exactly how I remember.
The called out mod specifically is the worst culprit. I guarantee if their mod privileges were revoked 85% of the bad rep .world gets would vanish.
I've been threatened/banned for calling out propaganda too
You should reach out to lemmy.world's admins about the situation, explain the problem to them and they might be able to help with it. I'd recommend doing the same thing any time an issue comes up around this particular mod. Eventually they'll get enough complaints and he'll be given the boot from those communities by the administration.
FlyingSquid flaunts his mod powers and bans users which don't submit to his Zionist world views by making shit up.
Lemmy.World is the most Reddit of Lemmies.
I'm so glad I finally made an account so I can block that particular reddit-type user. Might have to bounce instances based on how this goes.
Why is it whenever I notice a mod, or see anyone complain about a mod, it's always the exact same mod?
Are all Lemmy mods chill except this singular prickly tranch?
What was their response?
