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.
How will you enforce this new “no unapproved fun” policy? I think “Only knowledge and education” is a dangerous precedent to set, and we should strive for freedom of expression. And I mean real freedom of expression, not the “mandatory audience” version of freedom of expression the freeze peach folks want, I mean actual honest to goodness freedom of expression with freedom of association, including “We no longer wish to associate with you.”
Part of that is that we all must be respectful of the bodily and personal autonomy of all people, which requires moderation of content that does not respect bodily and personal autonomy.
That sounds very extreme. I like humor, but not the trolling type. In my time we used to say “don’t feed the trolls”. When ignored they mostly go away. Nowadays there’s always someone arguing with them. It’s so stupid…
Shit posting needs to die anyway. Only thing that should be allowed on the internet is knowledge and education. Throw out the corporations too.

How is education trolling? You do know the internet was made for communication and education until corporations took it over?
Humor = education? Trouble reading much?
