Serious shit man. Shit post was as close as dank memes was for a while. But, I do understand why they did it and fuck the people that keep post CSAM.

Where am i to find all the CSAM pictures without shitposts on lemmy.world 😞

/s Obviously for you jerks

Reddit does not own human communication. Do not give it such power

/s is a really useful tool to convey non seriousness in a textual conversation. Reddit did not invent it. The people that realized there was a gap in understanding and starting to textualize sarcastic tone did.

Just like emoticons and memes where embraced by internet culture before. The human condition earns to expressive itself in new and more nuanced ways.

In other terms: Language is open source.

I agree and let me add one more reason.

I don't claim to represent all dumb people on the internet but being dumb myself, sometimes I need a clear indication that something is sarcastic, otherwise I just don't get it.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

You don’t need to be dumb to struggle with this sort of thing.

  • the entire autistic community

You sound decently smart to me, being aware or you own flaws and such. The majority of people overestimates there own intelligence and abilities.

The California Society of Addiction Medicine? Maybe try their website: https://csam-asam.org/

(God, they chose a bad name for themselves)

/s isnt really good, it allows people to see someone isnt saying something seriously, but it makes any joke completely unfunny

what song genre is this? i wanna try exploring more of it

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get it. What happened now?

[–] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some shit head(s) were spamming CSAM images

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Specifically they were posting it in retaliation for the community not tolerating or platforming their anti-lgbt nazi "shitposts"

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Could you clarify who was posting? Shitpost wasn't tolerating Nazis?

I guess I can see how that would go poorly for a meme community. That's where they like to congregate.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You got it rights. Shitpost was supposed to be the "anything goes" meme community, and a bunch of yahoots took that as "Oh we can post lgbtq hate memes here". The shitpost community members didn't have any of it though. Most all the nazi shit got reported and the troll alts banned, but its a constant game of whackamole.

Really the problem was shitpost had a very small mod team all clustered on the same time zone. The nasty stuff would stay up too long.

"Anything goes" is such a terrible idea in the modern internet, you're always going to get checked for trying it lol.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh for sure. They did still have rules against nsfw and hate speech ofc, as well as the instancewide rules that had to be followed, but mods can only do so much.

"Anything Goes" was supposed to be memes of any quality/type/reference lol

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks but which instance or community was it? Is this the same one that shut down two days ago or something? I'm confused

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

It was Lemmy Shitpost community on lemmy.world

[–] FQQD@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

What happened to it??

And no one made a clone on another instance yet? πŸ€”

Real sadness

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Hopefully we'll get it back once this nonsense gets resolved. Was it the most popular .World community? Are there any similar ones that might substitute?

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think some instance owners having been talking to the team behind Lemmy about implementing some sort of detection system. Not sure how long that will take though considering all the feature requests they must be getting

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

db0 (Mod from my instance) created a tool to scan and remove CSAM related content. Sounded pretty neat.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you link it? I have plans to host a lemmy instance, it could be helpful.

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be surprised if there wasn't already something off the shelf they could use. Yahoo released their porn detector decades ago, and with AI being as prevalent as it is, I'd think that wouldn't be too hard to implement. Maybe difficult to implement well though...

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Right? All of these big companies have to be using something. There's no way that it's just hordes of traumatized moderators.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's stopping us from building another? Why aren't there several across the fediverse? Having one de facto just makes it vulnerable to the whims of trolls or a renegade mod.

[–] Bread@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Under normal circumstances that would make sense, however that is just sidestepping a major problem that needs to resolved. They could just post CSAM to wherever becomes popular.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I was wondering where that community went.

[–] ThatMooooCow@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

two batmans kissing

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, what happened? Defederation?

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Malicious actors spamming the community with actual CSAM.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

I had to google CSAM; hope I'm not on a list now
