Hey mods, ya think you might get around to removing that CSAM that's been up for hours?
Probably wise to block this community. This ain't the first time this has happened. I'd suggest leaving for your own good.
So... it's complicated...
I'm not a mod here, but the lemmy.world admins have set me up with some tools and bots to take care of trouble makers.
So the reports never made it to me because I'm not a mod.
A bot got the reports showing the offensive subject and a button for "Perma Ban" and it looked (to me) like the Perma Ban had already been enabled.
It now looks like it wasn't. :(
So this post was brought to the attention of an Admin chat that I'm part of, I ran down the post manually and hit it with the ban-hammer bot as well as going back through the bot posts and making sure the Perma Ban option was triggered.
HOPEFULLY it's gone now. The user should be permanently banned as well.
Why does a bot outrank you lol
Thanks for getting rid of it so I never had to see it.
Because while I am a lemmy.world mod, I'm not a mod for lemmyshitpost.
I see all the reports for Politics and World News and a few other TINY communities (hello Comic Books!) but I wouldn't ordinarily see the reports for lemmyshitpost.
That's where the bot comes in. Multiple reports happening really quickly get reported to Discord and then all of us can go "Whoah, what's going on?"
If we click the link and it's legit bad, there's a Perma Ban button that any of us can use even if we aren't a mod on that community.
In my case, I clicked the link in Discord and the post didn't load and I was like "Cool! Already done! One less thing to worry about!"
But that wasn't because it was resolved, it was because I had blocked lemmyshitpost from my personal feed. :(
I realized what had happened when I saw the discussion this morning, ran down the post and used all the bots to unleash hell. ;)
Mod of a larger community here (which is still small compared to Reddit).
The mod tools for Lemmy aren’t great. For example, Lemmy doesn’t have the ability to send separate high priority notifications for reports.
All in all, your mods need help. Volunteer to moderate so we have more eyeballs, and continue to make noise about Lemmy needing better tools. You can block if you want, but that doesn’t address the core problem.
Again? Can't have anything nice on Lemmy.
Seems to not be a problem on most instances
See you on the flipside. I'm not putting myself at risk over a shitposting community
It’s because certain instances and communities are popular and bigger targets.
All Lemmy instances have the same janky mod tools that don’t adequately alert mods. The cracks show when the communities get bigger.
This community is safe lol. Calm down
I think they just target the largest communities, and many happen to be hosted on lemmy.world
The problem isn't the community, it's the instances with quick no-checks signups that they can create an account on in seconds, they don't care if the account gets nuked because they can spend another 1.3 seconds making another. They can post in any community.
It was removed from the source instance already (lemmy.world)
Not sure why lemmy.dbzer0 doesnt get that federated
It's not like this is the first time this has happened. It's still grossly negligent to not have figured that part out.
I hope that Lemmy instance admins are keeping the IP addresses of the trolls that post CSAM.
I don't think by default anyone wants instances to log and save IP addresses (not sure what the normal practice even is), but specifically saving that for people who get banned is wise. These people are committing jailable crimes and if law enforcement does come knocking, it would be both morally and selfishly (for self-preservation) good to have that info to share.
Apparently these fuckstains are using VPNs, so idk how much use it is to try to track their IP
Yeah, I'm not saying it's 100% assured helpful. It may only be 1% helpful. But I think even that's enough to make it worth trying.
I don't see anything. Is it still up?
It was a few minutes ago when I checked
I'm not looking again, but I think this is how one reports it in the US: https://www.stopitnow.org/ohc-content/when-and-how-to-file
Had to Google that one. Goddamn.
Don't worry, they'll figure out a new, longer, more inscrutable acronym in 6 months
I think it's already removed? I checked by sorting with New and there's nothing right now, unless you mean another community?
I really wouldn't recommend banning this community lol.
Lol imagine having this community in your home feed or scrolling it more than once a day
This community regularly shows up on my /All feed.
Yea but then you won't see old shit that everyone downvotes again after 6 hours
I purposely seek out the meme communities now. I send lots of memes to friends and have become known as a font of memes, and really I have Lemmy to thank for it
