What is the plan to deal with CSAM? (self.lemmy)

There's another round of CSAM attacks and it's really disturbing to see those images. It was really bothering to see those and they weren't taken down immediately. There was even a disgusting shithead in the comments who thought it was funny?? the fuck

It's gone now but it was up for like an hour?? This really ruined my day and now I'm figuring out how to download tetris. It's really sickening.

They don't pay moderators, so that's a moot point.

But I do agree in general that there needs to be money flow to developers and admins, and potentially moderators as well. Perhaps that can be done with donations, or perhaps there needs to be a profit model, IDK, but I haven't seen a long term solution here.

My opinion is that the federated model is broken, and we should be looking into decentralized models where users share some of the burden. That way monetization wouldn't be an issue because there isn't a huge infrastructure cost.

But I'll stick around while it works.

Reddit pays admins, I think we are mostly on the same page on the rest. Donations will never happen though. It's going to be at least $100 a year per person+ unless you end up cutting corners on stability and I don't see the user base accepting that really.

Nah, it's more like a few hundred/month/instance, so if an instance has 5k users, it's $1-2/user/month. So about a quarter of what you suggested.

But again, it's unlikely to actually happen. Voluntary donations tend to suffer from the Bystander Effect.
