Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice - Lemmy.world
lemmy.worldHello everyone, We unfortunately have to close the !lemmyshitpost community for
the time being. We have been fighting the CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material)
posts all day but there is nothing we can do because they will just post from
another instance since we changed our registration policy. We keep working on a
solution, we have a few things in the works but that won’t help us now. Thank
you for your understanding and apologies to our users, moderators and admins of
other instances who had to deal with this. Edit: @Striker@lemmy.world
[https://lemmy.world/u/Striker] the moderator of the affected community made a
post apologizing for what happened. But this could not be stopped even with 10
moderators. And if it wasn’t his community it would have been another one. And
it is clear this could happen on any instance. The only thing that could have
prevented this is better moderation tools. And while a lot of the instance
admins have been asking for this, it doesn’t seem to be on the developers
roadmap for the time being. There are just two full-time developers on this
project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it
doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy. But we will not give up. We
are lucky to have a very dedicated team and we can hopefully make an
announcement about what’s next very soon.
They also shut down registration
Whoever is spamming CP deserves the woodchipper
His comment literally accounts for a scenario of if child porn does get on imgur. His intent was to avoid accountability to lemmy, not avoid proliferation of CSAM. Which was what my question was trying to highlight
🤔 Hmm. Okay, I’m lost for an explanation then.
There are actual child rape apologists making their way onto Lemmy, aren’t there? Maybe that’s what he’s doing. Getting his foot in the door to defend obscene shit
He’s looking to minimise risk to the Lemmy host not advocating for defending shit. Seriously how did you come to this conclusion?
I was talking in general. I have noticed on .world’s news feed that there was an inundation of apologists specifically in the threads talking about the most blatantly heinous of crimes. There were people demanding empathy for the perpetrators, then speaking in generalities to subtly imply punishment itself is an inherently bad or unhelpful thing and that the perps in each thread should be given leniency.
I even noticed it in a meme thread I made talking specifically about rape apologia. Same argumentation style, same M.O., and others in my own thread thought it was sus.
Then I saw people using that same argumentation style to the letter to defend possession of CP last night.
The pattern is clear – evil is upon us, and we need to pressure mods and instances of admins to not allow people to defend serious criminals anymore, because that is what it leads to.
Bro don’t be too proud to talk with a therapist
You need to do the same. Judging by your post history, everyone needs a therapist except you. The projection is real. You’re just one of those types with the need to quickly label anyone who annoys you so you can put them in a little box and push them away so you don’t have to think about what they’re saying.
Now grow up and let the adults talk. Blocked.
I have a feeling his comment was more of a “not our problem” kind of thing, as opposed to defending CP. It’s not uncommon for people to want to do the minimum if it’s impacting something they like, possibly such as the sub that got closed. So I was trying to force some empathy into the conversation lol
Literally everybody is talking past each other
