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.

    Hi, I’m not from your instance but I applaud this move.

    Could you share the info with admins of other instances so they can potentially choose the same action?

    I’ve been reporting their cartoon csam that they keep posting, but I guess if the admins are into that shit our reports won’t make a difference. Would dearly love to not have to spend half my day blocking shit, and any reminder to these pervs that their affinity for sexual abuse is not normal is a good thing.
