I watched that wayyyy longer than I thought I would, like most other people here lol
But it was still disappointing that he just hand-waved the two good fridges already having cold stuff (that's when I stopped watching). Anyone from somewhere with constant hurricanes knows that thermal mass is important when keeping a fridge at temp
I'm curious to hear how a non-corporate NSFW community can thrive safely? You said you don't have any answers - does anyone else?
I have the technical knowledge and plenty of money to run a lemmy instance and enough time to dev some moderation tools. But it seems like the issue isn't technical.
If somebody brought me a few full-time moderators and a lawyer or two (who I don't have to pay), I'd happily spin up an instance with terabytes of storage and start developing whatever tools the mods need. If somebody guarantees me I won't be liable and won't EVER see CP, I'll provide the servers, sysadmin, and some dev work.
Reddit has something special with their unpaid mods - I can't see it working any other way, but a group of mods like gonewild or something is probably one in 10milion.
Quick edit: I also want to say that I agree with everything you said :)
