Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Most, if not all of these images are hosted through i.reddit.com or imgur, which will stop working if the original reddit or imgur, etc post is taken down as well.
That way, OP on Reddit still remains in control even if unaware of the bot.
It doesn't stop someone from saving the image or video and republish somewhere else without OP consent (either here or on Reddit, etc). But that's not what the bot is doing, it's simply linking to the original source.
You're probably thinking of the Lemmit bot and community. There's no reason to not name and shame here.
While I find it weird, unnecessary, and kind of gross too there's an(or there should be an) implicit understanding that everything anyone puts on the internet is there to stay, forever. Rarely ever is deleting a photo actually removing for good and your tidbit about consent isn't quite relevant.
The vast majority of the women that are being reposted are Onlyfans models and have watermarks on their photos for this exact reason. Reposting it like this only serves as extra advertising. For real exhibitionists and people who aren't making money off the transaction, yes it's gross, but I don't think you can create any universal rules to easily differentiate between the two without very heavy moderation.
It's not just women btw. But I agree. I'm not sure whether lemmit has a system in place for takedown requests based on own personality rights. They should have that.
You're right it's not. Nudes of everyone and the mirrors of SFW posts are also a problem. I made the mistake of commenting on a mirrored post without realizing once and then immediately blocked the bot and instance once I realized. I see no value in approaching a lack of content that way.
The problem with allowing the option for takedowns though is that most people who are being mirrored don't know that it's happening. You can't easily stop something that you don't know exists and you never opted into in the first place.
Oh, there's a foolproof and simple test. Ask consent.
I'm not a fan of stealing nudes from people that willingly share them online with a chosen community. But people will always find weird ways to justify theft.
