I agree that CSAM protection is lacking, but the software is not an alpha. As a platform I use it just as much as I used to use Reddit and usually it's much faster, more enjoyable and not profit driven.

CSAM protection is essential, but it's a very hard problem to solve and naturally it takes time. Feature wise though, it's constantly improving and showing how powerful FOSS can be when enough people are interested in it.

I agree that CSAM needs to be fixed as soon as possible, I'm just pointing out that despite this huge problem, the software is otherwise doing very well and improving faster and faster as more people join in.

I am biased saying this, but I really don't think Lemmy is bad behind the scenes. On the contrary, I think it's revolutionary from a technological perspective, not only because of the Fediverse but because of the way it's implemented and all the great new technologies used.

Keep in mind that this is a FOSS project, and there is obviously no budget to be hiring moderation teams for CSAM like software giants do.

CSAM was an obvious problem from the start, but when it comes down to it, it's a moderator job and not a job for the actual software to do.

Thankfully there are new tools now to help moderators deal with CSAM that are possibly going to be incorporated to Lemmy afaik.

TLDR: Don't blame the software for people being shit

Memes, linux, programming, news to kill your hopes for the world, dreaming of seizing the means of production

I recently learned that all of Lichess is FOSS and suddenly it all made sense.

I have so much respect for it

If you live in a country where the government bribes all the media, this and Twitter(/Xcrement) or whatever you can find on Mastodon is basically all you can find

Wtf is it with this guy and the letter X

jfc

He is running out of capitalist propaganda bullet points so he's starting to lose it

Lump me in with a group you hate because you disagree with me and say we're all the same, that's great for proving a point.

Just remember to always miss the point and half read everything and you should be fine.

Best answer here lol

We don't in my country, and I'm 100% sure people would complain if there was one. Even if they attended it, it would go completely over their heads probably.

A shitty capitalist society with deeply rooted individualism can't be treated unless it's done from the root of the problem.

I love how either no one anwers to these, or they claim they're made up after pretending that they're more informed and definitely not living in their own propaganda reality.

I bet the response to this will be that they don't have time for these walls of text because they're too busy working.
