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 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

I agree and let me add one more reason.

I don't claim to represent all dumb people on the internet but being dumb myself, sometimes I need a clear indication that something is sarcastic, otherwise I just don't get it.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

You don’t need to be dumb to struggle with this sort of thing.

  • the entire autistic community

You sound decently smart to me, being aware or you own flaws and such. The majority of people overestimates there own intelligence and abilities.

The California Society of Addiction Medicine? Maybe try their website: https://csam-asam.org/

(God, they chose a bad name for themselves)

I don't get it. What happened now?

[–] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 41 points 1 year 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 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 32 points 1 year 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 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year 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 9 points 1 year ago

It was Lemmy Shitpost community on lemmy.world

[–] FQQD@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] AwkwardTurtle@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why not just ban the person?

[–] pgx@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year 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 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently they just posted from other instances

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] itszednotzee@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  1. Call trans people pedos
  2. get banned
  3. Post pedo shit
  4. own the libs???

What the fuck is wrong with these people

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What the fuck is wrong with these people

Everything.

[–] 50MYT@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This will sound mega dumb.

But

I like to think they are this messed up because of some unknown dumb thing. My current take is micro plastics. Microplastics cause them to go off the deep end. Fix that, we fix them too.

It probably isn't, but, it's a nice distraction.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, you joke, but environmental pollution (lead) levels and certain nutritional deficits have a scientifically measurable effect on mental health disorder rates and general intelligence.

The use of leaded gasoline put a huge amount of environmental lead into our living spaces and breathing air. When it was completely phased out in the 1970's and environmental exposure dropped, murder rates dropped by the 1990s in what's known as the lead-crime hypothesis, where childhood exposure to lead of any level alters development negatively.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nazis sure do seem to love CSAM. Can't say I'm surprised.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah. Super duper weird how the groups so intensely focused on calling LGBTQ folks pedophiles end up being the ones actually in possession of the cheese pizza. Clearly just a coincidence...

Projection.

Always has been

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Self-hating gays who also happen to be pedos and think all other gay people are, too.

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 16 points 1 year 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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you link it? I have plans to host a lemmy instance, it could be helpful.

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...

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 12 points 1 year 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.

Real sadness

[–] ThatMooooCow@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

two batmans kissing

And no one made a clone on another instance yet? πŸ€”

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

I was wondering where that community went.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, what happened? Defederation?

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Malicious actors spamming the community with actual CSAM.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

I had to google CSAM; hope I'm not on a list now
