This is a really good argument until you learn that mass shooters are less than one in a million but child sexual abusers are more than one in a hundred, despite there being tens of millions of FPS players and probably only hundreds of thousands of CSAM consumers in America. It’s a catchy gotcha but it completely fails to hold up under material scrutiny.

Mass shootings and child sexual abuse are very different things, and so are CSAM and video games. You would benefit from losing some of the reductivism you’ve got there.

hey friend have you considered that maybe we shouldn’t be adhering to archaic and unenforced “rules” made by christofash pedophiles on a mass shooting message board because of “DAE Le Rule 34? XD”

“characters who are petite/young-looking but not obviously underage”

yeah of course they’re not gonna come out and say “yeah we want to host and share drawn CSAM” and they’re going to be weasely and sneaky about it, do you really plan to take pedophiles and pedophile enablers at the honor of their word here

the venn diagram is a circle

also, that aside, “the resources” here are a little different, mounting investigative operations to bust lolicons/pedophiles (same thing) requires more resources than just flipping the switch off on some pedophile’s ability to communicate freely

Hi friend, it’s not my instance and not my business, but have you considered that lemmy maybe doesn’t have the userbase to support the number of highly niche and specific communities you’ve been making lately? I’m concerned that our own /c/gaming in total is probably getting less posts than an /r/rpclipsgta would get on Reddit. This, in my mind, will kind of make lemmy look like a ghost town, with hundreds of empty comms at less than one post per month, posts which would all probably fit in and be voted up in their relevant umbrella communities, until we get our userbase up and actually start experiencing crowding in those umbrella communities. Have you considered things from this angle?

In short, the majority of the fediverse was (and probably still is, despite the large influx of redditors?) highly communist in nature, but Beehaw, being predominantly moderated by liberals, were getting so dogpiled for their aggressive anticommunism that they just threw up their hands and started defeferating with any instance that disagreed with them from the left at the drop of a hat. At this point they’re probably cut off from 75% or more of the fediverse and I’m sure blissfully ignorant in their little liberal bubble. We’re probably not getting them back and to be honest I’m not sure it’d be rewarding to have them back, if their users want proper discourse they can just make an account over here.

he may be a socdem but good environmental policy is good environmental policy and critical support should go where critical support is due. Thanks Lula 🙏
