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 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.

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.

Edit 2: removed that bit about the moderator tools. That came out a bit harsher than how we meant it. It's been a long day and having to deal with this kind of stuff got some of us a bit salty to say the least. Remember we also had to deal with people posting scat not too long ago so this isn't the first time we felt helpless. Anyway, I hope we can announce something more positive soon.

My guess is butthurt trumpolinas whose memes could not gain traction and were shat upon.

It's so funny to me that there are peopld who are legit willing to risc a life in jail for trolling some people that may or may not disagree with them...

Those people either have developmental challenges, if they're adults (e.g. they belong to a mental hospital), or are edgy teens.

Dangerous tiktok challenges can say quite a lot about the subject.

Its probably a lot of diffrent people with their own unique false flags. Saw sombody waving a false communist flag, disrupting lemmy.world, accedentially attacked my own people in my annoyance.
