MODERATORS
 

You can't even speak frankly here. I came to Lemmy because I was tired of being censored by Reddit, but it seems like this place is just as restrictive on speech as Reddit was.

People, if we are going to talk about systemic change for a better world, violence has to be a tool in the toolbox.

Absolutely understandable. One thing I would love to see are more robust moderation tools. I've been tooling around with the idea of pushing images to a RAM disk, running an anti CSAM/gore/NSFW trained AI against that cache and only then pushing that into another RAM disk that can then be reviewed.

I did a lot of work with other folk on collecting metadata of nazis on twitter and Facebook back in the day.

But to get to the more important matter. I really hope your mental health goals are being met and you're better now.

Humanity can contain such dark and evil spaces, and the Internet is just a megaphone for that.

Your first one actually exists, it's over here, by the guy who runs the db0 instance: https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety.

As for the second, thanks. People are the absolute worst, and a very minor few ruin things for the vast majority. It shattered all of my illusions about safe communities, there are people everywhere looking to shit on a good thing.

Thanks for that! This looks pretty close to what I was working on, I'll see if I can contribute.
