What other bait communities? We can’t just accept “think of the children” as an excuse. That doesn’t work.
Yes, no one wants actual CSAM to show up in their feed, we can all completely agree on that. But just because some middle-aged woman can’t tell the difference between a 20 year old and a 15 year old, doesn’t make images of the 20 year old CSAM.
There are communities on NSFW Lemmy where people intentionally present as children engaged in sexual abuse scenarios.
If you are referring to the community that was cited as the reason for defederation, this is completely false. The community in question is adorableporn, extremely similar to the subreddit of the same name. No one, in any manner, in either community, presents as a child. While yes, the women that post there tend to be on the shorter and thinner side, calling short, thin adults ‘children’ is not being honest.
To be clear, this community is about petite women. This community is NOT about women with a kink to present as a child.
I’ve assumed all “personal” stories on reddit were fake since I started reading reddit. I’m sure that isn’t true of all of them, but I’ve found it better for my mental health to just assume those stories are all fiction or creative writing exercises.
That Google exec’s comments along with the Apple showcase of Apollo must have reddit leadership shitting their pants.
So much for the protest having “no effect”.
Yep! I left a while ago and moved to Tidal. I’ve been relatively happy with it so far.
Agreed. An application that must be human reviewed is a very large gate that many people will see and just close the site. Myself included.
While it is certainly sad the direction that reddit is going, there is just a little bit of joy in watching the public meltdown after all the user hostile decisions they’ve made over the past few years.
There is not one single new feature added to reddit since before the redesign that has actually added value to the platform for a user.
Even worse, it seems the block user functionality on kbin isn’t currently working.
No one wants to see the same article spammed 5 times in a row on their feed.
