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.
You must log in or register to comment.
AFAIK, it all falls down on moderators’ shoulders. I don’t envy their jobs one bit :(
AI generated CSAM will be (or already is) the next big DoS/troll tool, all you can really do is delete/block
I think the Lemmy dev team could use some help pushing out more moderation controls if there are any devs out there who want to make the world a little bit better place.
For starters it would be nice to be able to set up rules like:
You can’t comment for 1 day, you can’t comment links for 1 week, you can’t post until you have X comment karma, and you can’t post images / links to non-whitelisted sites until you have mod approval/Y karma/whatever. Toss in a rate limit on posting, and it’s not perfect but it may give mods a little more breathing room. Without adequate tools I understand why certain instances choose to go with the walled garden approach.
Set up CloudFlare’s CSAM scanning tool. It’s completely free. It’s not on lemmy devs to secure your instance. Lemmy devs could add better admin and moderating tools, but it’s better to stop it before it even makes it to your server.
Imo, lemmy shouldn’t allow image uploads at all. All images should be hosted elsewhere on services that can handle scanning content. This would also drastically cut down on hosting costs for lemmy instances.
If lemmy is to host images, it should merely be as a backup. But since lemmy content isn’t easy to search as is anyway, that’s not a short term concern. And those images should be archived via mod action imo, not user action.
can’t you already run Lemmy without image hosting if you just disable the pictrs service?
there’s also a new config option to disable caching of remote images
