I am biased saying this, but I really don’t think Lemmy is bad behind the scenes. On the contrary, I think it’s revolutionary from a technological perspective, not only because of the Fediverse but because of the way it’s implemented and all the great new technologies used.
Keep in mind that this is a FOSS project, and there is obviously no budget to be hiring moderation teams for CSAM like software giants do.
CSAM was an obvious problem from the start, but when it comes down to it, it’s a moderator job and not a job for the actual software to do.
Thankfully there are new tools now to help moderators deal with CSAM that are possibly going to be incorporated to Lemmy afaik.
TLDR: Don’t blame the software for people being shit
Memes, linux, programming, news to kill your hopes for the world, dreaming of seizing the means of production
I recently learned that all of Lichess is FOSS and suddenly it all made sense.
I have so much respect for it
If you live in a country where the government bribes all the media, this and Twitter(/Xcrement) or whatever you can find on Mastodon is basically all you can find
Wtf is it with this guy and the letter X
jfc
He is running out of capitalist propaganda bullet points so he’s starting to lose it
Lump me in with a group you hate because you disagree with me and say we’re all the same, that’s great for proving a point.
Just remember to always miss the point and half read everything and you should be fine.
Best answer here lol
We don’t in my country, and I’m 100% sure people would complain if there was one. Even if they attended it, it would go completely over their heads probably.
A shitty capitalist society with deeply rooted individualism can’t be treated unless it’s done from the root of the problem.
I love how either no one anwers to these, or they claim they’re made up after pretending that they’re more informed and definitely not living in their own propaganda reality.
I bet the response to this will be that they don’t have time for these walls of text because they’re too busy working.
Eh, lynching the big suits in the oil industry is fine by me.
Make them scared to leave their homes if they want to sacrifice everything for their own profits.
The way things are going, there will come a day when we regret we didn’t become violent against them while there was still time to stop climate change.
The amount of posts I relate with here are making me wonder again if I have ADHD to some degree lol
It does make sense why it works the way it works but I still don’t want it on my system
There’s no such thing as ‘apolitical’. The very idea of leaving politics to our superior politicians is what brought us and keeps us in this state.
This is not at all a political issue however. This is about not being a trash human being. Being racist is not a political opinion, it’s spreading hatred in the world and being a waste of skin.
Yaaay my country is making world news again :D
Fuck this shithole
Wow that’s disgusting
Not really, the one is a whistleblower leaking highly confidential information and the other is a simple person speaking out against their government’s actions.
I’m not by any means saying that Manning didn’t do the right thing and deserves jail, just that it isn’t the same case.
Can you provide proof that people in today’s US have been given jail time for posting online government criticism?
I agree that CSAM protection is lacking, but the software is not an alpha. As a platform I use it just as much as I used to use Reddit and usually it’s much faster, more enjoyable and not profit driven.
CSAM protection is essential, but it’s a very hard problem to solve and naturally it takes time. Feature wise though, it’s constantly improving and showing how powerful FOSS can be when enough people are interested in it.
I agree that CSAM needs to be fixed as soon as possible, I’m just pointing out that despite this huge problem, the software is otherwise doing very well and improving faster and faster as more people join in.
