Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I'm sorry, but I have difficulty being polite to someone who has actively ignored addressing safety concerns that were brought up months ago. FOSS or not.
Stop misconstruing it as safety. It's about legality. Nobody's safety is in jeopardy because they saw an illegal image accidentally. This is about following the law, not protecting the safety of users.
You know, except for those abuse victims whose pictures are being spread around lemmy. Just sayin'
The theory behind why CSAM is illegal is that if someone is willing to pay for CSAM it incentivizes production of even more CSAM content to receive more payment. That incentivized additional production means even more abuse. A perfectly reasonable take and something that I think can be demonstrated.
But why would you accidentally seeing CSAM prompt you to give payment to create that incentivization? Are you worried that you're a closeted pedophile that will be ready to shower those who record such content to see more and more as soon as you get your first taste?
I thought it was pretty apparent we were talking about Lemmy, but okay.
The statements were about the Lemmy devs can and/or should be doing for safety. They simply do not have the power to stop child abuse by developing a social media platform. So then the safety in question must be the safety of people using Lemmy, because the Lemmy devs have some direct power over that.
I'm sure you feel very morally aloof with your righteous retort, though.
It ties into safety as well, websites have "trust and safety" teams. This is where it falls under. Sorry for not being more concise.
No need to apologize, I just think safety is a misnomer here.
