Idk. It seems like that was a bot trying to dissuade people from leaving Reddit. One of the reasons we left Reddit was bc of the bots.
I had that kind of “astroturf-y” feel from the Reddit comment as well, but their opinion about mod tools is not entirely wrong.
The fear-mongering about CSAM being all over the place hasn’t been my experience, though. I’ve never come across CSAM here on Lemmy (sorry to those who have), but I don’t tend to keep NSFW posts on because I cruise Lemmy at work.
I think CSAM isn't prevalent here because the groups posting it know that they will get nuked from orbit by every other instance for doing so. I think there is still plenty of CSAM content posted on lemmy, but not on the main federated net/web, instead on a private net/web (you can whitelist federate instances, which would likely be what any group of instances handling illicit material would opt for)
CSAM isn't tagged as NSFW, because it's trolls (criminals) posting it. I think the admins have been pretty on the ball with removing it though
CSAM? What is that, I've never seen any NSFW at all.
“Child Sexual Abuse Material”. It is the new name for “child pornography”.
Ewwwwww
To be honest, the only CSAM I've encountered is having it mentioned during the Purge back when it happened. Nothing else. As far as I know Lemmy is quite well moderated.
Can we please stop calling anyone who doesn't agree with us a bot?
How is that a bot to you?
