Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice

Hello 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: @Striker@lemmy.world 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.

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.

Edit 2: removed that bit about the moderator tools. That came out a bit harsher than how we meant it. It's been a long day and having to deal with this kind of stuff got some of us a bit salty to say the least. Remember we also had to deal with people posting scat not too long ago so this isn't the first time we felt helpless. Anyway, I hope we can announce something more positive soon.

  • Whatever you say, kid.

    I'm over 50, but you keep doing you, Internet Warrior, as it just proves my point.

    • Your age does not come across in your writing. You sound like a kid, which is why I called you one.

      • Your age does not come across in your writing.

        Well, lets see ...

        People have been, but you’re not truly listening

        That sounds to you like a sentence a young person would say, punctuation and all?

        • Yes.

          It doesn’t to you? How young do you think these people are? If you’re 50, there’s 49 different ages which are younger than you. Not all of them know how to write like that, but I would say at least the ones with a high school education do.

          • Yes. It doesn’t to you?

            These days especially, I see very few young people who bother with things like commas, multiple paragraphs, or using words like "truly".

            • You may want to keep your day job, and not move into the online-age-detecting sector, truly.

              Sorry for miss-generationing you.

              • You may want to keep your day job, and not move into the online-age-detecting sector, truly.

                Well, for the record, you're the one who started identifying the age of somebody online by what they wrote. So I would just advise you to follow your own advice.

                Sorry for miss-generationing you.

                Wow, assuming you weren't just being sarcastic, an actual apology. Thanks. There's still hope for you.
