Doesn’t lemmy allow the communities to only allow text as posts? Could be a future feature
I feel like this is an underrated idea. Resonates with the whole thing of making a subset of the internet simpler and just like documents, as with the simpler protocols like Gemini etc.
That would still allow links to be posted. Better than allowing image posts, but not a complete solution.
It prevents concerns about hosting CSAM posted by someone else. A categorical improvement I’d say. But yes, nothing’s perfect.
You’re right. I thought of another idea: use karma to decide who can post links, images and/or videos. 50 general karma for links, 100 for pictures, you get the idea.
CSAM? What is CSAM? Is it a rewrite of “scam”?
Googles…
Oh no. Oh no no no. Why are people so fucking shit?
Sometimes, when it’s too hard to be better and it’s easier to be worse, people choose to be worse just to feel different than what they are.

Today is a bad day to be named Sam.
See Sam.
See Sam run.
See Sam run down to the appropriate bureaucratic office to change their name to something else.
Lemmy.world is hosted on Cloudflare and Cloudflare has tools to prevent CSAM uploads. https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-csam-scanning-tool
Important note, this feature is only available for US customers.
Also important to note: this feature will only really work against real CSAM. The images that were posted to this community weren’t real CSAM but were pictures/gifs of adult models, with titles/captions that would imply they were CSAM. I don’t think Cloudflare can do much about those.
At least, the handful of posts that I saw were like this. I’m doubtful that the guy doing this is uploading actual CSAM to the clearnet.
Most !asklemmy@lemmy.world questions are better fit for !casualconversation@lemmy.world anyways.
Some could go to !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world too but tbh I think the user base as a whole is still too low for these differences to be meaningful to most people.
This is exactly what they wanted.
Thank you for your work on it
What are the victory conditions or payoff for someone posting that here?
Payoff: could be related to the coming Reddit IPO, to make alternatives unappealing or unsustainable.
i don’t think that’s going to be very effective. i havent seen any of this but it sounds like a sybil attack. asklemmy isn’t the only vector. lemmy.world is going to need to do something, possibly drastic.
It’s not even just lemmy.world, the same user is reposting to ask lemmy on lemmy.ml now.
I suggest limiting new accounts from uploading photos for 3 days, to prevent abuse.
3 days should be enough to make most people think twice before doing something so stupid, harmful and illegal. Most users don’t upload photos right as they sign up anyway so this effect to legitimate use should be negligible.
Sweet summer child.
Wtf, disgusting
Jesus, it’s still going on? I’ve kept away since seeing posts about it a couple days ago, but seriously, what the fuck?
I am a mod bot.
What are you so mod about?
Good bot gives cookie
So where am I supposed to ask my burning questions? This isn’t fair.
It’s open again?
