Serious shit man. Shit post was as close as dank memes was for a while. But, I do understand why they did it and fuck the people that keep post CSAM.

Where am i to find all the CSAM pictures without shitposts on lemmy.world 😞

/s Obviously for you jerks i hate saying '/s' like some dirty redditor

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Reddit does not own human communication. Do not give it such power

/s is a really useful tool to convey non seriousness in a textual conversation. Reddit did not invent it. The people that realized there was a gap in understanding and starting to textualize sarcastic tone did.

Just like emoticons and memes where embraced by internet culture before. The human condition earns to expressive itself in new and more nuanced ways.

In other terms: Language is open source.

/s isnt really good, it allows people to see someone isnt saying something seriously, but it makes any joke completely unfunny

The owners shut it down because some asshat was uploading CP to the servers -_-

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why not just ban the person?

[–] pgx@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

hard to ban a spam attack without also stopping any new sign ups. Also high risk, because the moment some scumbag uploads an image like that, it's hosted on their server and they are legally at risk.

[–] Alterforlett@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently they just posted from other instances

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Yes, there were multiple spats of right-wing nazi trolls brigading the /c/ with propaganda spam from multiple alts. I have a feeling it was all one guy who got mad though, at most 2 or 3, because every new instance "alt" had the same memes (focusing on calling trans people pedos) and the same typing and title style. Plus, it initially started with one asshat who had alts with identical usernames spread out across 20+ instances- so it'd make sense he wisened up and kept making alts with new usernames.

Fuckin' no-lifers gotta ruin it for everyone else man.

Everything.

I don't get it. What happened now?

[–] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Some shit head(s) were spamming CSAM images

Edit: wow, some homophobic Nazi shitheads were posting CSAM, birds of a feather I suppose...

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Specifically they were posting it in retaliation for the community not tolerating or platforming their anti-lgbt nazi "shitposts"

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Could you clarify who was posting? Shitpost wasn't tolerating Nazis?

I guess I can see how that would go poorly for a meme community. That's where they like to congregate.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You got it rights. Shitpost was supposed to be the "anything goes" meme community, and a bunch of yahoots took that as "Oh we can post lgbtq hate memes here". The shitpost community members didn't have any of it though. Most all the nazi shit got reported and the troll alts banned, but its a constant game of whackamole.

Really the problem was shitpost had a very small mod team all clustered on the same time zone. The nasty stuff would stay up too long.

"Anything goes" is such a terrible idea in the modern internet, you're always going to get checked for trying it lol.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh for sure. They did still have rules against nsfw and hate speech ofc, as well as the instancewide rules that had to be followed, but mods can only do so much.

"Anything Goes" was supposed to be memes of any quality/type/reference lol

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks but which instance or community was it? Is this the same one that shut down two days ago or something? I'm confused

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

It was Lemmy Shitpost community on lemmy.world

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Homophobic Nazi shitheads posting CSAM? I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[–] AbsolutelyNotCats@lemdro.id 7 points 2 years ago

Real sadness

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Hopefully we'll get it back once this nonsense gets resolved. Was it the most popular .World community? Are there any similar ones that might substitute?

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think some instance owners having been talking to the team behind Lemmy about implementing some sort of detection system. Not sure how long that will take though considering all the feature requests they must be getting

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I'd be surprised if there wasn't already something off the shelf they could use. Yahoo released their porn detector decades ago, and with AI being as prevalent as it is, I'd think that wouldn't be too hard to implement. Maybe difficult to implement well though...

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

db0 (Mod from my instance) created a tool to scan and remove CSAM related content. Sounded pretty neat.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's stopping us from building another? Why aren't there several across the fediverse? Having one de facto just makes it vulnerable to the whims of trolls or a renegade mod.

[–] Bread@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Under normal circumstances that would make sense, however that is just sidestepping a major problem that needs to resolved. They could just post CSAM to wherever becomes popular.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

I was wondering where that community went.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

And no one made a clone on another instance yet? 🤔

[–] ThatMooooCow@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago

Wait, what happened? Defederation?
