What's interesting is the part you paraphrased out, is that they think "nearly no one does that". This is one of those arguments people make when they don't realize how much has been done for them. They clearly don't think it's an issue because they've been protected from it by the moderation they're bitching about. Maybe around a month ago, several official matrix.org channels had members spammed with CSAM. Not to get graphic but literal babies. It hit my account and i only was part of 3 hosting related channels. This simply does not happen on something like messenger (from Facebook) due to their "censorship". It happened here on Lemmy and people made tools to prevent it which they're also bitching about
It's just a reality that there are awful people out there and even one person can send this stuff out to thousands of people with minimal effort unless there's proper tools and moderation. These admins aren't getting burned out just from arguing with people, they're arguing with people who they're protecting from seeing vile shit that the admin has to see. Nearly nobody actually wants a fully unmoderated Lemmy instance. Places like Lemm.ee and seemingly lemmy.zip find that balance.
