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: @[email protected] [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.

They also shut down registration

I’m so happy to have been the 💯th to give him his downvote

You’re free to go back to Reddit where that type of thinking belongs. Otherwise- shush. No one cares about your shit attitude.

Or a different instance? He’s right tho, all the content I’ve seen from lemmy.world is trying to be edgy. Speaking of attitudes and kettles…

The point isn’t that they don’t like lemmy.world, the point is that they offer nothing as a reason and are shit-posting just to be a troll.

I’ll go one more, this format itself breeds contempt and arguments. There’s never going to be a “good old Reddit” because it was always a cesspool. I was there for ten years, believe me. It’s a cesspool. It’s because it’s shaped like one. The format is the problem.

Why the fuck would you suggest Reddit as an alternative to lemmy.world?? You realise the whole point of Lemmy is that you can just switch instances. I agree that lemmy.world sucks ass. Constant network issues and blocking piracy communities. Plus most of these problems stem from the fact that so many people are on the same instance. I’m glad they closed registration, it will force people to spread out.

You at least gave reasons. Complaining about a thing with “sucks to suck” is low-effor Reddit trolling and doesn’t need to be here as it serves no purpose.

I see this similar to people that want change in politics.

Person: Biden could do this and that

You: Yeah, well you can go vote for Trump with that kind of thinking.

Instead of trying to change their minds you just tell them to f-off.

Well, more trump votes will help the blues lose faster, but the republicans will get more power…

Wtf are you even taking about? This isn’t about politics.

The original comment is completely irrelevant and doesn’t add anything to the discussion. How is someone posting illegal content the fault of lemmy.world? Changing the mind of someone with an opinion that bad just seems like feeding the trolls.

Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.


Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
