Yup, kbin for the win.

Just wish it had a mobile app…

Another bonus of that community, actual discussions about the shows in the comments. Well, sometimes.

I automatically block most meme communities, there’s almost never anything worthwhile to them, just pointless nonsense.

I do admit to keeping one or two of the really niche ones around, like risa@startrek.website

Buried in this very report, they note that Instagram and Twitter have vastly more (self generated) child porn than the Fediverse. But that’s deep into section 4, which is on page 8. No one is going to read that far into the report, they might get through the intro, which is all doom and gloom about decentralized content.

Since the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5, there has been a steady increase in the
prevalence of Computer-Generated CSAM (CG-CSAM) in online forums, with
increasing levels of realism.17 This content is highly prevalent on the Fediverse,
primarily on servers within Japanese jurisdiction.18 While CSAM is illegal in
Japan, its laws exclude computer-generated content as well as manga and anime.

Nope, seems to be the one. They lump the entire Fediverse together, even though most of the shit they found was in Japan.

The report notes 112 non-Japanese items found, which is a problem, but not a world shaking issue. There may be issues with federation and deletion orders, which is also an issue, but not a massive world shaking one.

Really, what the report seems to be about is the fact that moderation is hard. Bad actors will work around any moderation you put in place, so it’s a constant game of whack-a-mole. The report doesn’t understand this basic fact and pretends that no one is doing any moderation, and then they add in Japan.

The report (if you can still find a working link) said that the vast majority of material that they found was drawn and animated, and hosted on one Mastodon instance out of Japan, where that shit is still legal.

Every time that little bit of truth comes up, someone reposts the broken link to the study, screaming about how it’s the entire Fediverse riddled with child porn.

I seem to remember a guy being convicted for possession of child porn, and the very much adult porn star actually came to his trial to testify in his defense… I’ll see if I can find a link about it, but that will be some risky searching.
