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?

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

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

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

Yeah that's what I was referencing but I wasn't sure if they were the only player in that

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...

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

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.

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.

You're 100% right. We shouldn't have all our eggs in one basket.
