Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice
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: @Striker@lemmy.world 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.

Ah I see what's going on, you're salty that they closed the shitposting community so you're trolling here, going so far as to compare gays and jews to pedophillia (which is extremely bigoted and incorrect) or downplay the horrific acts that led to the closing of that community and registrations to protect the rest of the Instance's well being.
Also I'd appreciate it if you didn't edit what I said when quoting me, thanks.
You want to go down swinging, deflecting your bigoted comment onto me, instead of discussing the real problem? Fine.
Let's recover verbatim what you said:
A person who is attracted to children is an evil and disgusting person, someone being a pedophile isn't just "liking something", they are a monster.
Let's now compare what you said to this other bigoted shit people have said at one or other point in history:
"A person who is attracted to the same sex is an evil and disgusting person, someone being a gay isn't just "liking something", they are a monster."
"A person who is attracted to money is an evil and disgusting person, someone being a Jewish banker isn't just "liking something", they are a monster."
"A person who is attracted to making potions is an evil and disgusting person, someone being a witch isn't just "liking something", they are a monster."
This is your argument. You're not the victim here, you're the bigot... a copycat one, at that.
Amazing, you think that being against pedophiles makes someone a bigot, do you think the same applies to being against Nazis as well? Paradox of tolerance much?
There's a very clear difference between the arguments you cited and pedophilia, which is that pedophilia causes physical and psychological harm to the child who is the victim and also is extremely psychologically harmful to the people who witness such event or the abuse material from it. I don't think you realize how severe this is or you wouldn't be trying to defend such heinous acts right now.

Nothing you say matters, because you're defending pedophiles. Whoops.

Lol you do realize blocking on Lemmy means to ignore them, it's not going to silence them or more critically prevent them from downvoting or reporting you like it does on Reddit.
You're just going to stop seeing them, they can keep calling you out for it. You just made it easier for them.
Oh no. Anyways...
