MODERATORS
 

Hello everyone,

We unfortunately have to close the !lemmyshitpost community for the time being. We have been fighting the CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts all day but there is nothing we can do because they will just post from another instance since we changed our registration policy.

We keep working on a solution, we have a few things in the works but that won't help us now.

Thank you for your understanding and apologies to our users, moderators and admins of other instances who had to deal with this.

Edit: @Striker@lemmy.world the moderator of the affected community made a post apologizing for what happened. But this could not be stopped even with 10 moderators. And if it wasn't his community it would have been another one. And it is clear this could happen on any instance.

But we will not give up. We are lucky to have a very dedicated team and we can hopefully make an announcement about what's next very soon.

Edit 2: removed that bit about the moderator tools. That came out a bit harsher than how we meant it. It's been a long day and having to deal with this kind of stuff got some of us a bit salty to say the least. Remember we also had to deal with people posting scat not too long ago so this isn't the first time we felt helpless. Anyway, I hope we can announce something more positive soon.

Pedophiles are fighting with the only weapon they have that can fuck up someone’s life-

The irony.

I don't know if it has been mentioned there yet but do you think it would be a good idea to post this to the lemmy incidents room on Matrix?

I understand this is a major growing problem in many parts of the tech industry right now.

Solving the problem will make us strong... I just wish it was over something like malware. Something urgent enough to make us work, but not awful enough... You know.

How come that I never encountered any kind of this content and browse constantly Lemmy, is this one of the perks of surfing through subscribed feed?

I unsubscribed from meme communities very early on because they were spamming such a feed.
