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 [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. The only thing that could have prevented this is better moderation tools. And while a lot of the instance admins have been asking for this, it doesn’t seem to be on the developers roadmap for the time being. There are just two full-time developers on this project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy. 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.

They also shut down registration

Whoever is spamming CP deserves the woodchipper

    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

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