Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldHello 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. 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.
They also shut down registration
Whoever is spamming CP deserves the woodchipper
The fact that some of you are putting the blame on instance owners/moderators is just showing that you have about the same amount of brain rot as the people actually posting this vile trash
Right. This is a community effort, and it’s important we support our instances and figure out how to best keep them safe.
Honestly, my first thoughts were that reddit had probably funded some blackhats to sabotage shit because they’re still salty. Then, they could have it reported.
Honestly dude if you believe this is true you should speak with a therapist.
Why would a guy who called their free labor “landed gentry” and thinks Elon Musk is running the site formerly known as twitter well, not go after where a shit ton of his content creators went? It’s stupid enough to be him, lol.
You drastically over estimate the number of people who were creating content on Reddit leaving for Lemmy.
The entire population of Lemmy is smaller than a mid sized cat sub on Reddit and the only content that is being reliably generated is memes.
Yes, a few subs did have their communities split, and some left permanently. But if you think Reddit corporate got at all bothered by Lemmy’s MAU numbers… no, they’re not that great.
A bunch of mods did indeed stop activity on Reddit, but all in all there’s been no practicable drop in volume.
Do you think that I haven’t been back to check? The niche groups are fine, the bigger ones are hurting for content. I can read you know.
See above
If you believe businesspeople never commit crimes to shut down their competition, you should read some history books. Antitrust violations, murders, aerial bombings—you name it, and if it’s illegal and gives a business an advantage over its competition, it’s happened.

Ignore these people telling you that you’re being too paranoid. I assumed the same about the series of DDoS attacks that lemmy.world experienced in the last few months. Reddit admins trying to undercut lemmy’s growing popularity “by any means necessary” is perfectly logical. DDoS followed by content attacks even follows Reddit’s own struggles over the years.
It’s okay. Thank you for the support. They seemed quick to complain and kinda organized to be this deep in some obscure comment thread.

And, agreed about the DDoS attacks.
The comment was more about inspiring a pro-fediverse angle, in any case. Imagine defending reddit, here of all places.
