Oh don’t worry - Lemmy will soon have people posting child porn, gore, or other things en-masse before reporting the site/domain. I’ve seen it on almost every Reddit alternative since Digg shut down.
They’ll run hit pieces against this place for being extremist, they’ll do all sorts of nasty shit.
So first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.
Yeah, I mean I barely understand this federated stuff. To my understanding, each instance has their own rules. I can’t post nudes on my Lemmy.ca to my understanding. I think if there’s an instance that is running “afoul” then the instance I connect with can block the entire instance?
Yep, that’s how we roll. Others can tell you the details. I’m just an end user. On my end I can block nazi’s, or anyone I don’t like. u/universalmonk was one, acted so surprised when I blocked and didn’t want to explain why. Funny thing, if you can block someone for being an asshat, suddenly they are less encouraged to do that, and have to find a more socially acceptable way to be. Cheers.
Reddit has CSAM on it. Reddit has a subreddit selling porn that is now known to feature CSAM. I along with a few others tried to kill it. We’re all here now.
Lemmy has already had CSAM instances.
how well known is the sub? Are we talking like, 30 users, or like 300k users.
Small which is likely why they never killed it.
yeah that sounds about right, im guessing it’s not exactly public facing either, probably an off platform thing if i had to guess. It’d be wild to be posting that shit directly on the sub though.
I remember growing up we’d be graded down on our writing papers if we used an acronym without spelling out what it meant the first time.
child sexual abuse materials
Permanent prison sentence
very gross, some of the medical subs were getting close to CP because minors were asking about “skin conditions” and they were showing thier private areas, and perverts were rushing into dming those people, i think the mods shut that down very quickly.
Already happened to world iirc
reddit did have problems with that in medical subs. i dont think most of them are heavily moderated(i think there is more moderation now) because minors were being contacted by perverts to show them more. and some users were shocked that there was a part-time teenager modding that NSFW sub, also theres significant amount of self-harm glorifying posts too. the 2 subs i know that are very restrictive is askdoc and dental on what you can even comment or post.
