Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
Hello everyone, We unfortunately have to close the !lemmyshitpost community for the time being. We have been fighting the CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts all day but there is nothing we can do because they will just post from another instance since we changed our registration policy. We keep working on a solution, we have a few things in the works but that won’t help us now. Thank you for your understanding and apologies to our users, moderators and admins of other instances who had to deal with this. Edit: @Striker@lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/u/Striker] the moderator of the affected community made a post apologizing for what happened. But this could not be stopped even with 10 moderators. And if it wasn’t his community it would have been another one. And it is clear this could happen on any instance. The only thing that could have prevented this is better moderation tools. And while a lot of the instance admins have been asking for this, it doesn’t seem to be on the developers roadmap for the time being. There are just two full-time developers on this project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy. But we will not give up. We are lucky to have a very dedicated team and we can hopefully make an announcement about what’s next very soon.

      You’re free to go back to Reddit where that type of thinking belongs. Otherwise- shush. No one cares about your shit attitude.

        Or a different instance? He’s right tho, all the content I’ve seen from lemmy.world is trying to be edgy. Speaking of attitudes and kettles…

          I’ll go one more, this format itself breeds contempt and arguments. There’s never going to be a “good old Reddit” because it was always a cesspool. I was there for ten years, believe me. It’s a cesspool. It’s because it’s shaped like one. The format is the problem.

          The point isn’t that they don’t like lemmy.world, the point is that they offer nothing as a reason and are shit-posting just to be a troll.

        I see this similar to people that want change in politics.

        Person: Biden could do this and that

        You: Yeah, well you can go vote for Trump with that kind of thinking.

        Instead of trying to change their minds you just tell them to f-off.

        Well, more trump votes will help the blues lose faster, but the republicans will get more power…

        Why the fuck would you suggest Reddit as an alternative to lemmy.world?? You realise the whole point of Lemmy is that you can just switch instances. I agree that lemmy.world sucks ass. Constant network issues and blocking piracy communities. Plus most of these problems stem from the fact that so many people are on the same instance. I’m glad they closed registration, it will force people to spread out.

          You at least gave reasons. Complaining about a thing with “sucks to suck” is low-effor Reddit trolling and doesn’t need to be here as it serves no purpose.
