Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldHello everyone, We unfortunately have to close the !lemmyshitpost community for
the time being. We have been fighting the CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material)
posts all day but there is nothing we can do because they will just post from
another instance since we changed our registration policy. We keep working on a
solution, we have a few things in the works but that won’t help us now. Thank
you for your understanding and apologies to our users, moderators and admins of
other instances who had to deal with this. Edit: @Striker@lemmy.world
[https://lemmy.world/u/Striker] the moderator of the affected community made a
post apologizing for what happened. But this could not be stopped even with 10
moderators. And if it wasn’t his community it would have been another one. And
it is clear this could happen on any instance. But we will not give up. We are
lucky to have a very dedicated team and we can hopefully make an announcement
about what’s next very soon. Edit 2: removed that bit about the moderator tools.
That came out a bit harsher than how we meant it. It’s been a long day and
having to deal with this kind of stuff got some of us a bit salty to say the
least. Remember we also had to deal with people posting scat not too long ago so
this isn’t the first time we felt helpless. Anyway, I hope we can announce
something more positive soon.
They also shut down registration

Hmm. I’ve never taken “lots” to be a proportional term before. The dictionary uses “a lot of people at the gala last night” as an example of how “lots” is often used.
What kind of gala is attended by an appreciable percentage of the world’s population? Words can mean whatever want them to mean, of course, but in terms of common usage, surely it implies something like hundreds of people at best?
