My friend who runs the instance i am on nuked all the images cause some degen thought spreading cp was a good idea. So have some more motivational word art

Tell your friend to log the IP address and report it to the authorities. They might need to turn over the entire modlog as well

This is likely in reference to the federation of such images posted elsewhere

Once again reaffirming why I refuse to host an instance. If I ever do, I’m not federating with any of you degenerates lol

I'm glad s/he was able to nuke the CSAM, even if other material was nuked with it. This crap is why I'm not hosting.

Please, call it CSAM (child sexual abuse material) and not CP (child pornography). The children in these photos/videos can't make pornography, they're sexually abused into making this material. CP insinuates that it's legitimate porn with children. CSAM, on the other hand, calls it what it is: sexual abuse of children.

That is needlessly pedantic. I have never heard of anyone using the word pornography to imply legality or moral acceptability. There is no such thing as "legitimate" CP, so there is no need to specify that it's not ok every time it is mentioned. No one in their right mind would presume he's some kind of CP supporting monster for failing to do so.
- If we spent more time fixing things rather than naming them the world would be a better place.
- No one in their right mind would assume that OP is. But the term was created to legitimize the material. So, while you're correct in that it is picky, it is also picky for a reason. Words are powerful. We should fight to not empower the legitimation of that term, among other things.
- Just because you aren't affected doesn't mean it is no problem. This isn't needlessly pedantic, it just shows your ignorance and idiocy.

I know that guy Tobias Fünke, althought he also is a analysist. He had some clever abreviation for that as well!

Bless you ❤️

You referenced the Nazi term, "degenerate." Most of the time the people behind these attacks are very much aligned with Nazi ideology.

You are dumb.
- It's never a drag queen, it's always an authority.
"Degenerate" is a word that has been used by many people in many contexts both before and after nazis were in power. It's the privative prefix "de-" + the latin root for creation/birth. Broadly speaking, it just means someone or something altered over time in a way that they no longer function properly. I see how it can be used in a way that aligns with nazi ideology, but that's not all it can be used for, or how it's used here.
- Degeneracy is the core ideology behind every genocide. You accuse me of not understanding language shift. I say you don't understand the overton window.
Guys, I think this is a troll account. Probably from the same bad actors that caused the original issue OP is complaining about.

Illegal images didn't work, so they took the "talk about Nazis" approach.
- I think you're the child molesting Nazi, how about that?
  
  We can all just say whatever the fuck we want without any proof or cause!
I dont understand why this post is downvoted so much. It is calling the people who undermine Lemmy with CP Nazis (which they probably are) and points out some historical context of a specific term. I thought Lemmy would be up for that.
- There's a strong right wing element in the Lemmy comment section, especially in places where abusive behavior can be disguised as comedy or virtue signaling. I don't care about the votes. If they hate me, I'm still in their heads.
I agree. This word is almost exclusively used by Nazis now. Let's not use that word to refer to people, no matter how bad the things they do.
- It's common terminology deeply rooted in internet culture. People call themselves degenerates due to being unable to pursue social interactions in real life

In the meanwhile, my YunoHost based instance that still hasn't managed to make Pict-RS work and therefore can't even store images even if it wanted to is doing juuuuust fine

Come to think of it, if you're the only user, it's kinda protecting you, isn't it? (hello fellow Yunohost user!)
