    Or if a bot on a bigot instance is set up to automatically close all reports, none of the other instances will ever see it? That does sound like a bad implementation.

      No, one report goes to each involved instance. So if the reported user and community of the post were in the same instance, a community moderator could “hide” that report from the instance admin by taking quick action. But an additional report would still go to the instance admin of the reporting user and that instance admin could choose to defederate from the problematic instance.

        Ah okay that’s less problematic. But could it still cause problems if a rogue moderator decides to be trouble for the instance admins?

          It’s not so much even “rogue” moderators. It’s just regular moderators doing their regular moderating. If they don’t know that marking the report complete stops the admin from seeing it, then they’ll ban the problem user from the community, and remove the post, and think that they’re doing the right thing, but they have in fact, stopped the admin from seeing the report and banning them outright.
