I generally agree, ill add that to the post.

Edit: oh, it was written but poorly explained that it should be its own instance.

Allow off instance admins to moderate bot posts

Some software somwhere has a bug in it and it broke your link, im sorry if i failed to communicate that

CSAM sourcing?

Where do these people get that much CSAM. somebody once said that to the best of their understanding, it was new CSAM images each time, meaning not many repeats. My collection of reddit memes costs me ~15-30GB, all of sbubby costs ~5GB. where is it pooled from?

The most fried part of my brain says “One of the big companies trying to absorb the fediverse is doing this to undermine their competition,” but I have zero evidence

Most companies that build CSAM detectors, by nature of their work, have a lot of it. likely thousands of photos and videos were willingly handed over to put into some vault to fight against it’s existance. If its a large corperation attacking is, it nesisarly means a leak from a CSAM vault wether it was intentional (an authorized attack) or not (opsec mistakes or insiders). Or it means there was no vault (negligence) or it wasnt tranfered securely (opsec mistakes).

it’s just the only motive I can even think of beyond it being a rogue crank.

Its not hard to build a bot that scrapes a webpage of its images, they can easly aggrogate that much content over decades.

I wouldve recommended catbox.moe but I have FUD about it now. I assume they are have themselves together, but I cant know for shure.

Sounds like a useful back-pocket fallback/emergency tool. A thing for when your primary is failing or need more help.

If one enjoys the twisted pain inflicted on children, then inflicting pain that makes most adults want to use eye-bleach by showing off their plunders is to them well executed revenge on the people they dont like.

Its a verry charming toy, i wish I had one

What issues are you/world having?

Edit: oh, distribution of members in the fedivese and the ddosing.

Me too, small but close.

How badly did we fuck our culture to make another language’s word for “older brother”/“big brother” a dirty one. Problem, japan’s petophiles fucked the word for themselves.
