Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldHello 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
[https://lemmy.world/u/Striker] 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.
They also shut down registration
Whoever is spamming CP deserves the woodchipper
Is there not some way to involve the authorities? I feel like FBI/CIA or other foreign agencies would love to track down whoever is distributing. Like set up some sort of honeypot instance to catch them
They probably connect using tor. Not much you can do with that information (without effort far exceeding the value of one CP spammer).
Doesn’t the NSA run half of all Tor exit nodes?
ssssh… if they start arresting CP posters then people would lose faith in the Tor network and stop doing their illegal activities there.
Yeah. Even if they don’t run lots of nodes, they most likely do have some method of deanonymizing tor users. But they’re not gonna use it for one troll disrupting some small community.
Well the NSA did develop TOR so it wouldn’t be surprising if they did. It’s not like the NAS doesn’t break their own laws
Not the NSA.

Shit, what was I thinking of? Could just be some BS I’ve heard too. Thanks for the correction
