A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.

I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they’re not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.

I’m sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn’t a line I’m willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won’t be reinstating it whilst that community is active.

    Thank you. Just the spam in new was bad enough, but CSAM? Holy crap.

      To be clear, it is not CSAM. It is legal porn deliberately designed to look like CSAM

        In some jurisdictions that is still considered csam. Even if it’s animated or whatever excuse…

        Would you mind posting chat logs like the lemmynsfw team for transparency sake? Not trying to cause more drama but I think the whole thing just needs to be more transparent. Sorry if this is an out of line request.

          The ones the lemmynsfw admins posted are accurate.

          This post isn’t for the Fediverse, it’s an announcement to the users of Blåhaj as it impacts their experiences here.

          I don’t intend to get in to he said/she said over it with the wider Fediverse

            Thanks wasn’t trying to. Totally not here to pick sides or start trouble. Just wanted an end the speculation I was reading on both sides… I just wanted to make sure it was accurate. Thanks for the verification. Aggressive support to you and your community still 🫡 I’ll be off to my own areas.

        It still feels in the grey area just like some anime

          My “favorite” was the vampire who has the body of a little girl, but the argument was “in the story, she’s actually hundreds of years old, so she’s not a minor!” 🙄

          Child sexual abuse materials

          Ugh. They need to be more than defederated, even if isn’t actually CSAM. Sick people.

            Thank you. I was just about to search the acronym CSAM to find out what it meant. Eww.
