A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.
I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if theyâre not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.
Iâm sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isnât a line Iâm willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and wonât be reinstating it whilst that community is active.
I am very disheartened by the number of people replying here who read âa community skirting the line trying to look like CSAMâ and felt the need to go purposefully seek out that community to look through its images.
Probably because the community in question isnât trying to âskirt the lineâ and just posts popular pornstars that range from 18 to the mid twenties. I thought it was a kink community until someone finally linked the lemmynsfw post and itâs actually just a community for cute pornstars.
Calling it CSAM-adjacent just means that nobodyâs comfortable actually looking at it to figure out whatâs going on, and hugely exaggerated.
