    Oh don’t worry - Lemmy will soon have people posting child porn, gore, or other things en-masse before reporting the site/domain. I’ve seen it on almost every Reddit alternative since Digg shut down.

    They’ll run hit pieces against this place for being extremist, they’ll do all sorts of nasty shit.

    So first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.

      I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.

        Yeah, I mean I barely understand this federated stuff. To my understanding, each instance has their own rules. I can’t post nudes on my Lemmy.ca to my understanding. I think if there’s an instance that is running “afoul” then the instance I connect with can block the entire instance?

          Yep, that’s how we roll. Others can tell you the details. I’m just an end user. On my end I can block nazi’s, or anyone I don’t like. u/universalmonk was one, acted so surprised when I blocked and didn’t want to explain why. Funny thing, if you can block someone for being an asshat, suddenly they are less encouraged to do that, and have to find a more socially acceptable way to be. Cheers.

            Links to that? Because I’ve never seen Universal Monk act surprised when someone blocked him/her.

            In fact, he/she often recommended blocking them if you didn’t agree with what they said.

              daily reminder that you can just use they/them in place of he/her she/him pronouns because that’s literally a designed feature of the english language.

      Reddit has CSAM on it. Reddit has a subreddit selling porn that is now known to feature CSAM. I along with a few others tried to kill it. We’re all here now.

      Lemmy has already had CSAM instances.
