I'm new to moderating on Lemmy.World since I only have this account as a community I moderate is on .World. This user has persistently been using "orc" to refer to Russians and a user who defends Russian driving. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/orc says it's an ethnic slur but https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1811354/i-will-not-call-russians-rushists-or-orcs-that-s-dehumanising-interview makes it out slightly more nuanced as a dehumanizing pejorative.

The comments' not receiving admin action has got me wondering. Is this time for some sort of ban? Does this violate the instance rules?
