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.
That’s a real argument, don’t get me wrong, but what Ada was arguing was that they were allowing images that, although they had subjects of legal age, put the subjects in situations where one could see them as underage.
Being real? I have pretty much all of the porn C/s blocked now, so I had to go look specifically for what the problem was.
Nobody with eyes and basic reading comprehension could mistake anything on that community for underage people. The instance has very clear rules about age verification, and the posts all followed them.
Someone seeing them as underage would take either horrible ability to discern age, or just being so wound tight that they weren’t willing to consider otherwise.
Which, again, this is their instance, they can make the decision for no reason at all, and I’m okay with that. It’s just that the stated reason is, bluntly, malarkey.
