Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse

You will end up with too much fragmentation in how servers handle this sort of thing; it’s definitely going to keep happening and probably get worse. I think delegating to the community of forum participants to handle the problem is in the spirit of the Fediverse. In either case, I admit it’s up to each server owner to do what they feel is best. I suspect the Noster model of dumb repeaters is a better model.

That different instances handle issues differently is inevitable. Just from a legal standpoint they will HAVE to enforce different laws, depending on where they operate from.
However you have a point in the community helping out. I don’t know what the application process is, but you might want to look into it. If you can just take over looking into some of these reports, it will help reduce this 3-digit load on admins.

If communities are never even given a view of the offending posts, they will obviously never be able to participate in the solution. I think communities that don’t address offending posts can and should be banned at the server level. Unless it is handled this way, then I guess server operators take complete ownership of the issue. I’m not even touching the topic of what constitutes an offending posts, which lends itself to all kinds of mis interpretations.
