It not only have problems with CSEM (the real-life stuff), but there are now bots spamming it and Twitter made reporting it a chore.

ā€œPlease provide more contextā€, WTF itā€™s literally just CSEM plus a link I wonā€™t click even if my life depends on it!

Iā€™m quite sad since a lot of the creators Iā€™m following are still only there, or on the boneless fediverse app BlueSky (which is worse in some ways), and I still need to keep it around just to protect my user handle there and to look things up from time to time.

Once Iā€™m at home from work, Iā€™m locking my account, and put up a farewell message to whoever might miss me.

Iā€™m not saying that the fediverse is perfect, far from it (especially certain segments of Lemmy), but itā€™s a way better experience than whatever Xitter (or Reddit for that matter) tries to be. I even have more reach, especially since the whole paid blue checkmark thing.

Yeah, can we just agree to stop using unexplained acronyms? Even as a terminally online person, I struggle to keep up with the new ones that keep popping up daily and itā€™s exhausting. Some time ago, I also had to look up what CSAM meant because suddenly everyone was saying it out of nowhere and it was critical to the context.

Couldnā€™t have said it better.

It makes some sense to me in that some media might contain any actual abuse, e.g. images generated and shared publicly by underage teenagers without any coercion. I think most of us would still consider it exploitative for other people to share and view that media.
