someone posted CSAM from there and i had to clean it up… again…

and to be quite honest, the only way im removing my censure on fediseer and refederating with feddit.nl is if its made clear from their admin that they are onboarding at least one other admin or plan on making a good faith attempt to tbh

sorry yall

    Hi, the admin of feddit.nl here.

    Made an account on lemmy.world to make sure this message gets federated.

    I’ve changed the registration to approval to avoid some spam.

    I’ve also found a second admin who will support me in cleaning up spam and csam stuff.

    I’m open to more admins, but it can be challenging to find trustworthy people on the internet these days.

    @[email protected] does this mitigate your worries a bit?

      Copying here what I put in matrix: I understand, I will refederate and remove the censure as well. Sorry if this put a bit of stress on you. Just knowing you were making a good faith attempt to find an admin of some kind would have been enough tbh, it’s a lot of trust and lemmy needs more granular permissions for site staff. Having it be admin or nothing isn’t really helpful at all.

      I’ve begun to love Tetris again so that’s something from this I guess

    I’m sadly to the point where I will automatically defederate any instance that has open signups and am seriously considering moving to the allow-list model. feddit [dot] nl was still on my blocklist from the last time their open signups caused problems, so I was spared this round.

    just to be clear i dont blame their site admin for this here but i really would feel much safer with an instance of their size having at least one other admin if they are able to or at the very least making it clear in communication they are reporting these posts to the authorities

    will let y’all know what comes of that 🫡

    pictrs-safety is ready to host. Just need someone to dockerize to make it easy for y’all to catch CSAM before it’s even federated.

      The fact it requires a GPU isn’t really feasible to host for me, as well as the fact idk how comfortable I am with potential legal liability it might open.

        I am planning to add a feature to scan for porn (not csam) via ai horde which will bypass the need for gpu if you want to use that m

      If you have any kind of contact with them, please forward these concerns if you can. I really want to engage in communication here, not just permanently block them off. the dutch are chill so blocking that instance breaks my heart a bit but idk how comfortable i feel re-federating without at least a conversation here cause its really worrying :(
