Oh, it does. As an admin, my "job" is hard enough with the regular spammers, don't need whole instances dedicated to spamming in my mod queue. Why do I need to make my hobby harder because people want to decide for themselves?

Luckily, this is fediverse and you have options! You can host your own single person instance and federate with everyone. Just be prepared for some child porn federating onto your hard drives.

You can prevent child porn and everything from federating in, you just have to restrict your instance. lemm.ee does not allow any images to be locally hosted. It becomes a bit of a hassle having to manually host something somewhere else, but that's how reddit started out so nae bother.

Sure, you can cripple part of the functionality to prevent it. Doesn't sound like something I'd want to do.

Personally I'd say that reddit starting to self-host stuff was a big turning point in when the site started getting shit.

Apparently they just allowed image uploads a few days ago. There's a pinned post on either [email protected] or [email protected]

Edit: for your convenience

The post is in /c/[email protected], though it's one that I missed.

Non-instance agnostic link (because there are no instance agnostic links for comments or posts): https://lemm.ee/post/19843583

I really wish instances didn't links for their comments and posts. lemmy.world/comment/123456 is a different link to lemm.ee/comment/123456, when really it should simply be that lemmy.world/comment/123456 is the same as lemm.ee/comment/[email protected].

What do you even do about that? Is that immediately a crime because your server hosted those images? Like obviously you defed from guilty instances asap, but what do you do as the instance owner in the interim? Report and delete?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Report and delete. If you're lucky, you're not the one to discover it and it hasn't federated yet, so you defederate preemptively.

I know at least one admin, who quit because he was afraid of police raids because of child porn. He said that the US police are quite uncompromising in such cases, but I'm not from the US so I don't know, EU rules seem a lot saner.
