A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.

I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they’re not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.

I’m sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn’t a line I’m willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won’t be reinstating it whilst that community is active.

    Kinda glad that server is blocked. I’ve had to block over 100 subs from them over the last few weeks.

    The amount of porn that was coming in on my feed was crazy.

        To be fair, it IS a porn instance. I think I would rather blame the sorting algorithms of lemmy that allows popular communities, including memes, to spam the All page due to the sheer number of posts and hides smaller ones.

      I’m confused on why you didn’t just turn off NSFW if you didn’t want porn in your feed?

        that also hides things that aren’t porn, and just marked as NSFW because there’s a wound or mention of violence for example.

        Like, i still want to see a lot of non-porn NSFW posts, lemmy REALLY needs specific tags for content so we can filter things properly.

        It’s not just porn that uses the NSFW flair. I really wished Lemmy would have adapted a new flair since reddit had this exact same issue.

        I think some apps let you block them from showing up. Connect I think?

        I use Voyager(WefWef) and it doesn’t have that yet.

      Thanks for the feature idea! I’ll add “Block Instance” function to my app.
