I understand and there’s a reason I am not applying to do it myself. It’s not easy. This platform is growing really quickly so it’s not easy to keep up with.
Sadly seems to be a common problem in social media platforms. Twitter became way worse at dealing with CSAM under Musk, and Instagram looks like it’s putting in no effort at all to combat it either.
I used to mod some fairly big communities on one of my Reddit alts and every now and then the spam filter would remove some post or comment linking to CP. Possibly the only compliment I have of Reddit at this point is that their spam filtering seems to work decently well (at least when it comes to posts and comments, not sure how it might be for DMs).
I’ve seen straight up racist and pedophilic posts on this community. They need more moderators or something. The posts did get removed which is good

The unfortunate reality of it is that there’s plenty of room for bad motives in seeking freedom from the corporate control of social media.
This is a problem with any platform. It’s not unique to Lemmy.
How can we get rid of those problems and keep them out?
Lots of moderators with lots of spare time on their hands. Impossible to really solve
Open registration is part of the problem.
