Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse

I understand that admins need to take whatever measures needed to protect themselves from legal pursuits

At the same time I hate to see the promised federated network revert to what commercial platforms have become, karma and account age requirement, phone and identity verification , forced 2fa and what not.

Maybe lemmy should implement a shared database whereas if an admin of an instance marks a post as potentially illegal, it gets replicated to other instances automatically and gets in queu for deletion.

The promise of the federated network is only really that any one single instance operator can not force changes upon the whole network. If users are unhappy with any instance, they always have the chance to move to another one or host their own, while still retaining access to the same federated network - this is not possible with existing centralized platforms.

  Couldn’t agree more - that’s why we came over here, surely? Hope you are able to find a workable solution to the problem.

I think desperation of devs, admins and users is exactly the sentiment the trolls were trying to elicit. Lemmy is a young project, and this is one of many hurdles it’ll need to overcome on its path.

I like the idea of removal flags propagating through the network, at least as an additional signal. Forcing removal everywhere on a single removal signal on a single instance would probably be too jumpy (e.g. a sfw instance might prevent any instance from hosting nsfw content), but some configurable rules and thresholds paired with removal reason context might significantly automate the process.

The reason I especially like this suggestion is because smaller instances can benefit from any automation that is affordable by larger ones

This opens at some terrible abuse, just open a malevolent instant and start flagging all the content you don’t like as illegal

While I share this very same feeling, I also recognize there are reasons why commercial platforms have done what they’ve done, I don’t think they’re inherently evil, they just had to face the very same problems we have
