If you need a break, please take it. Your mental health is not worth sacrificing for random strangers on the internet. I will say it is highly instance dependent, so migrating to a smaller instance may change that experience.

I think it varies and is highly dependent on what community you are venturing into. Some are more heavily moderated than others from what I can tell. I don't think it's any more or less than it was on Reddit (I'd argue for the most part it's still great in comparison), but I think it just is a lot more noticeable due to the user count being so small right now.

Absolutely. I think there's a bunch of mitigation efforts that need to be taken.

I'm very interested in potentially seeing an art focused pixelfed instance

[–] gabe 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Image uploading is disabled until further notice across many instances due to people uploading CSAM.

Potentially, but unfortunately many things would break if we did that unless I asked users to just migrate over. :(

I think a lot of it is also I don't know if I have the time to grow and curate lemmyloves.art alongside literature.cafe either. It would be ideal if I got at least one other admin who could help manage that instance and build it with me, but I doubt anyone is going to volunteer to do that given you know

Because people want lemmy as a project dead, and they are doing so by trying to burn out the admins and instance owners as much as they can. People are fucked up and petty.

I'm sorry for not being more focused on being nicer to the devs of lemmy after problems that were discussed nearly a month ago being ignored have caused me and other instance admins to have to deal with the stress of dealing with CSAM federating into our instances and having to witness that content in order to remove it.

That is sarcasm by the way. In comparison to how I actually feel currently, I could be a lot more indignant about this but I am fighting that urge as it is not productive.

It ties into safety as well, websites have "trust and safety" teams. This is where it falls under. Sorry for not being more concise.

[–] gabe 6 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. It's already worked on some instances as well. It's upsetting.

[–] gabe 12 points 1 year ago (10 children)

I'm sorry, but I have difficulty being polite to someone who has actively ignored addressing safety concerns that were brought up months ago. FOSS or not.

It is, there are currently discussions of attempting to do so but the issue lies that Rust is not only a really new programming language that really never was well suited for an application like this, forking means nothing if no one is going to contribute to the fork in the first place. I know that pawb.social is working on a fork iirc
