Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice - Lemmy.world
lemmy.worldHello 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: @[email protected]
[https://lemmy.world/u/Striker] 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. The only thing that could have
prevented this is better moderation tools. And while a lot of the instance
admins have been asking for this, it doesn’t seem to be on the developers
roadmap for the time being. There are just two full-time developers on this
project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it
doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy. 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.
They also shut down registration

Agreed, I don’t know what AutoMod did on Reddit but if what mods need is a rule-configurable post remover then I’d be happy to clobber together something in Python
There’s this bot that is used in a couple of communities on feddit.de:

Oh great! This was literally how I envisioned my python script – JSON config file and all
If you’ve really got the time and energy I think you would see pretty heavy use of such a tool. I think the existing libraries are definitely mature enough. I’ve been surprised that nobody has done it already
Nice, do you happen to remember what the most popular moderation rules were? So far I can think of:
I have exams in September but if I get a free day it should be enough to get something working
Wait does lemmy have reporting functionality, so you could use some type of number of reports?
As in Python Lemmy libraries?
Yep. That’s what I’ve been looking at at least
