CSAM Emergency Contact (lemmy.world)

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Last night I was exposed to CP and I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse so it really hit hard and made me instantly nauseous. I got a reply from the mods that my post was removed and the CSAM content was already gone by the time I made the report. It also said in the reply I got that If I made complaint I may be banned! WTH

That was not the case because it was sent out to more than one instance and was around for at least 3-4 hours on lemmy.world.

I am wondering if Lemmy could put in a tool that will shoot out to all available moderators 24x7, no matter what sub they are in so this crap can get taken down before some of our youngsters get exposed to something no one should ever see.

Like a "Bat signal" for CSAM. ???

That sounds like a good idea. Lemmy is still beta version software and there are not that many mods, in part bc they have to expose themselves to this kind of thing all the time.

It should get better as people build new tools. But it takes time, and effort. For instance, even this system that we are talking about could devolve into a "mod harassment tool", where someone falsely reports something and in the report itself puts horrible content.

Some people just suck. It takes real effort to make the world suck a bit less, and for the most part it's a thankless job that brings 99% heartache. With that in mind, I think the mods are doing great, but yeah more needs to be done at the same time. And it will.
