The only word I can think of is "disgusting", and that is far from strong enough.

Well that's fucking horrible. Jesus christ on a bicycle.

Lemmy devs NEED to get mod tools out asap. Approved posts only, whitelisting users for communities, etc.

What's CSAM

is there a list somewhere including detailed descriptions of the tools needed?

My field is QA but i'm reasonably competent in a few scripting languages (mainly JS, but can also code in python and C#)

they would probably not be browser embedded, at least not at first, but i can dedicate a couple evenings a week to writing tools so long as there is a specification

Thank you for your work.

That also means that they could post to other communities, so I guess moderators need to be vigilant

What kind of lowlife piece of shit do you need to be to post some shit like that? Some people will stoop to the most depraved levels just to fuck with strangers, it's horrifying

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

isn't this what 8cjan is for? Seriously what the fuck is wrong with people who think that CSAM is appropriate shit post material. The Internet really is a fucked up place. is there a way to setup something to automatically remove inappropriate posts similar to YouTube's system of automatically removing inappropriate contents?

Are they only posting to this one community? If so, why? Would closing this community not just make them post on a different one?

I had no idea that this was going on. I expect that, like me, most people are horrified.

I do think if the platform needs to grow more, we need more full time devs working on it and building it up to par. Good time to start funding campaign for Lemmy

Have you reported this to the FBI?

That sucks! I saw one of these things and reported it. If you need moderators for when it opens I'm willing to help.
