4chan and reddit would not ban the site on baseless allegations

Reddit is well known for unreasonable bans of users & communities. Their CEO itself was once moderator of /r/jailbait. Reddit as well as 4chan are generally known for such content too.

It’s explicitly listed in the Office of Justice’s docs about sites known to be used to distribute csam.

So according to your source:

Social networking sites, such as Facebook [287, 307], Twitter [308, 309, 310], Facebook’s Instagram, Google’s YouTube, Reddit, and lesser known social sites (e.g., Motherless.com) that are too numerous to list.

I assume this means you also ban Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit links? Or are only “smaller sites” ban worthy?

So what’s the basis of the alleged lack of moderation of CSAM on Motherless then?

The duality of the Fediverse. On one hand getting accused of being a toxic troll that’s banned everywhere for being against murder, terrorism, genocide & rape, and on the other hand I’m part of “the echo chamber”. Make it make sense.

What in the Zensursula are you people doing?! I feel like I’m the only person on this planet who never accidentally stumbled upon CSAM on any website, including on Motherless.

Edit: Yep, checked again, nothing really there. Another bullshit post from the negative reputation troll.

Could people stop sharing this image of the guy who clearly was not the murderer?!

I refuse to believe that this is real.

It doesn’t even matter in this day and age. Claims have no meaning anymore since borders are internationally recognized as they are and only legitimately changed through diplomacy, not through acts of war. In this case, Russia very much, on multiple occasions, acknowledged the borders (including Crimea) and Ukraine’s sovereignty - including their potential wish to join NATO (I don’t remember if it was Lavrov who said it, it was some old interview).

Tankies = Ruscists = Fascists

Russia was just Defending Ethnic Minorities in the Donbass!

Good old Sudetendeutsche excuse. 卐

The only regret he had was that they got caught. I’m sure he’s done performances like this all his life. The mom seems like a real class act though. No wonder her kids turn out like this.

What are you trying to say? That anarchism is the end state of communism? Because that’s definitely not the case, they’re two completely different philosophies. The fediverse is, for better or worse, kind of an anarchistic structure with its decentralized governance.

You can’t extrapolate that onto the whole country. The UK has a lot of absolute garbage level little trash satans running around too.

I hope you’re aware the West isn’t just the US (or worse, that republicans are in control of the entire West), and neither are the information related to this leak just about the US.

The West should just adopt the same tactics for Russian social media channels (VK, Telegram, etc), regular civilian groups if the state does not want to resort to it. Feed Russia some of their own medicine.

What?

when beehaw famously defederated from lemmy.world ages ago, as well as sh.itjust.works

They’ve been defederated from lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear for much longer though.

while the admin of lemm.ee has said, controversially for some of their users I believe, that they don’t really understand all of the fuss over hexbear.

I guess that explains the heavy Tankie presence on that instance, which I’ve negatively noticed as well.

I’m not sure what your point here regarding Beehaw is though.

Meanwhile, lemmy.ml tries to stay widely federated AFAICT, and from what I’ve gathered, the admins have even gotten in hot water with their lefty users for not defederating from more right-wing-ish instances earlier, and then are often criticised for their active moderation on their own instance.

And here you lost me completely. What right-wing-ish instances are we talking about? Because I have yet to see anything that even mildly steers into that direction. And what moderation? Banning non far left positions and those who talk back against far left disinformation? Just look at their news sub and how much mod abuse & disinformation there is. Tankies can freely insult people and the mods do absolutely nothing. Correct disinformation and you get banned. If that’s an issue for the admins, then they could actually do something about it, since they literally own that instance.

and don’t like what they perceive to be a culture of demanding open source users (which I’ve come to understand over time actually).

“Demanding open source users” is a nice way of framing community demands negatively. lol

I believe it’s probably more that it’s extremely difficult, and that developers facing the reality of the situation might come across as dismissive when responding to ideas and suggestions.

The problem is that them being on a political extremist side of things makes it incredibly hard to take their word for it and to take them at face value. The most trouble Lemmy communities are facing is coming exactly from the spaces that align not just with the devs views, but in case of Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad even the ownership. So when more moderate lefty instances like Beehaw complain about the lack of moderation tools to handle the trolls from those places, it might just be that the devs are completely fine with what’s happening.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but what I picked up by the Beehaw drama is that the Lemmy devs do not seem to be too interested in improving moderation support. I don’t know if this is politics related but I wouldn’t be surprised.

No, just the competitive ones. I’ve played plenty of multiplayer games on Linux without issues.

I don’t understand why everyone’s so hell bent on turning the EU into yet another authoritarian mass surveillance state.
