Tankie lemmy devs blacklist the anime instance from join-lemmy.org and lemmy.ml
[Announcement] Lemmy.ml has defederated from ani.social (and what this means for us) - AniSocial
Based on 30 minutes of looking around the instance I didn't see anything immediately indicative of CSAM. A lot of lolis and sexualized images but no obvious sexual pornographic content of that nature. Just the standard anime trope of everyone either appearing childlike or having absurdly exaggerated sexual organs.
So I woyld think there is a very loose definition of CSAM being used.
Now, I did see a discussion thread for Samurai X, which, fine I guess, but if I saw a Lost Prophets appreciation thread in a music community it would raise an eyebrow.
Hopefully the situation can clear things up between the two instances.
Some idiots use "CSAM" to refer to drawings.
Because apparently words don't mean things.
Anime is very obviously pedophile adjacent. I have no patience for people who pretend not to be able to see it.
