[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago (1 child) CSAM is a risk on any platform. I guarantee there's private subreddits with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago (2 children) There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms. IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year. I don't know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you'd even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it's a lot less than the bigger platforms these days. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] remington@beehaw.org [S] 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) In the four years that I've been an admin here I've only seen one CSAM case. I don't want to see another one. It was very difficult dealing with it on a personal level. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] elfpie@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago I'm very sorry for you. People might not realize how traumatizing having to deal with it can be. It definitely shouldn't be the responsibility of people without proper support or training. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago We have heard of some here and there. The biggest problem is instances with open signups, they're the ones that tend to get CSAM. That and instances that see nothing wrong with 'lolicon'. permalink fedilink source parent
