A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.
I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they're not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.
I'm sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn't a line I'm willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won't be reinstating it whilst that community is active.
People have a voice in a community, Ada.
If that voice is "we want access to content that can be mistaken for CSAM", it's not a voice that is going to get a say
What about we want a community discussion about defederating an entire instance for one community. Idgaf about CSAM, this is about you forcing your insecurities on the whole community. What fuckin' kind of safe space is this for us if we get smacked for deviating from what you find acceptable? Why do we, the people you are trying to "protect," not get a say in how this community is run? Why do we have to cut off a whole instance because you can't find the "block community" button. And then there's the censorship. You are deleting comments from people outside the instance, BUT ONLY IF THEY DISAGREE WITH YOU. That's some ol' double standard bullshit. I'm callin' you out for being a shitty moderator, that's all.
A community with content that looks like CSAM attracts people looking for content that looks like CSAM. Blocking the community doesn't stop us federating with that content.
I mean, whatever your feelings on the community that prompted this, lemmynsfw has another community that is explicitly focused on people who look like they're underage. That one is explicitly designed to attract people who are drawn to CSAM. The admins of lemmynsfw have also let that community stand.
lemmynsfw is not a safe space
Feel free to try that again without the name calling
I didn't call you any names, I criticized your ability to have an adult conversation.
