I know there’s a recent similar-sounding post but I think this is a different issue.

Someone with a racist username DM’d me very graphic porn and insults. Obvious troll is obvious yet I can’t find a report button on DMs or the user’s profile. Please help.

    There is no report feature yet. Most admins/mod teams I’ve seen respond to issues like these have said to report to them directly by direct message.

    As others have said, DM’ing an admin is fine. There’s also a report button for private messages as well.

      Where do I find it? I’m using Connect but I couldn’t find the button on desktop either.

        i’m not sure about the Connect app but on desktop it should be right beside the “Read” checkmark:

    This is the kind of stuff I just have to laugh about. You’ve got these instances tripping over themselves to be the first to the top of the censorship ladder and yet they haven’t even figured out important stuff to prevent actual REAL harassment. Oof.
