    If anyone needs another example of why centralized social media is dangerous, here’s one.

      And what would you call the child porn that keeps popping up here?

      You people are absurd and just throwing spaghetti at the wall.

      This is clearly an admin mistake over at Facebook but you people want Facebook to fail so badly you run with the most inconsequential dumb shit.

          By paying teams of people, which fediverse has an aversion too.

          I also like how you do confidently declare it’s easily dealt with engine the instances are currently fighting and blocking child porn attacks. Like it’s going on right now in plain sight and you are calling it mission accomplished 🤣.

          That’s some Bush on an aircraft carrier levels of reality wrangling.

              Yet it’s back. You will be fighting a battle of attrition. There is a reason social media companies hire entire teams of people for this. And you know what? That job sucks balls, requires full time therapy and discussions, and has an insanely high burnout rate. You aren’t going to just ML it away and services offered by folks like CF aren’t 100% effective. And the problem never ever goes away.

              There will be burnout and someone is going to be lazy and get in legal trouble which is going to scare the shit out of anyone who is crazy enough to be running instances not behind a non profit or something.

        Part of freedom is that some people will abuse it.

        I hope you’re not suggesting we should give up freedoms so those abusing it can’t.

        Just go after the abusers, which instance admins do.

        If you’re trying to suggest a solution to stop all sharing of CP on the internet without restricting everyone else, I’d love to hear what you come up with.

        waits patiently

          No, you should employee the team and put in place the procedures for handling it according to the law. Liked literally everyone out there doing social media.

            What do you mean?

            I don’t think mods are paid on most lemmy servers, and I’ve never seen CP.

            Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s pretty clear that paying people to moderate is not necessary.

              It’s all new. Folks are happy to moderate it now. It will keep coming. They will not have the support of a team and they will miss things and get tired of it. Somebody is bound to get in trouble with legal issues and it’s going to spooke people. The current state is not sustainable long term.

        Woah dude. Where did that come from. One thing being worthy of criticism doesn’t mean other things aren’t.
