Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I think he's asking why it is instances don't ban self-hosting images and have posters use imgur and the like to post any kind of image, to prevent the proliferation of CP to begin with. Because presumably imgur and the like already have filters and mod armies checking uploads.
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
