It not only have problems with CSEM (the real-life stuff), but there are now bots spamming it and Twitter made reporting it a chore.
“Please provide more context”, WTF it’s literally just CSEM plus a link I won’t click even if my life depends on it!
I’m quite sad since a lot of the creators I’m following are still only there, or on the boneless fediverse app BlueSky (which is worse in some ways), and I still need to keep it around just to protect my user handle there and to look things up from time to time.
Once I’m at home from work, I’m locking my account, and put up a farewell message to whoever might miss me.
I’m not saying that the fediverse is perfect, far from it (especially certain segments of Lemmy), but it’s a way better experience than whatever Xitter (or Reddit for that matter) tries to be. I even have more reach, especially since the whole paid blue checkmark thing.
You must log in or # to comment.
I’m glad you’re leaving that cesspool behind. That said, just not doing the thing is also an option. I’ve replaced Reddit one to one with Lemmy but I’d just as soon forego the whole thing. I’ve never seen the allure of Twitter and I have a Mastodon account but I don’t see it there either.
I think I’m gonna delete that as well and just live without it.
What’s CSEM, is that like CSAM?
Might be “exploitation” instead of “abuse”.
I still didn’t get why we stopped calling it CP instead of CSAM or CSEM or whatever it is now.
supposedly because the porn part makes it sound consensual
I would think the “child” part would rule that out.
Lol exactly
I don’t think that really makes sense because revenge porn is technically porn and it’s not consensual.
So I would disagree calling something porn doesn’t imply consent, it merely describes sexually explicit material.
usually the porn part is consensual and only the sharing is not, but I see what you mean
I think it’s part because of definition of porn, and pedos were like “but what about erotica?”, and there were CSEM that used such clauses to get around bans, essentially by claiming they’re artistic nudes.
CSAM is supposed to be more explicit that the images are essentially crime scene photographs, and to emphasize that it is Abuse first and foremost and not merely pornography.
CP is a morally neutral term, or at least the components words themselves are. CSAM is not, and is explicitly negative.
Hmm… I mean I’m not challenging this explanation, but I’m just a little curious about this I suppose? So starting from when I was like 13-14, I regularly sent and received nudes of other people my age I met on gay forums n shit. Uk… Sexting n stuff. Now I know that this could’ve gone incredibly ugly had I been deanonymized n stuff. But I mean… I had fun at the time and am in contact (not that regular tho) with some of these guys (and I’m an adult now).
I had fun at the time and was not coerced into anything by anyone. I was just a horny teen with an out and so were they. How’s this abuse? Like who’s the abuser? I’m sure it wasn’t us, as no one coerced anyone into doing anything.
That’s I guess why CSEM is used, because if the images are being shared around exploitation has clearly occurred. I can see where you’re coming from though.
What I will say is that there are some weird laws around it, and there have even been cases where kids have been convicted of producing child pornography… of themselves. It’s a bizarre situation. If anything, seems like abuse of the court system at that point.
Luckily a lot of places have been patching the holes in their laws.
Was wondering the same thing
If you decide to use Mastodon afterwards, there’s an instance where a bot reposts everything a given Twitter account posts called bird.makeup.
I already have two accounts there I’m using, @ZILtoid1991@mastodon.world is my personal, and @PixelPerfectEngine@peoplemaking.games is for my game engine project.
This is huge. Thank you!
Dude I thought you meant Merlin (my favorite bird app) and I was like nooooooo, don’t tell me someone screwed that up too!
Yeah, Xitter sucks, I quit it even though it was my only way of reaching a few friends.
Instagram next.
I dont use twitter so I never understood the CSAM stuff. Did you follow accounts that post it or between it? Or does twitter have like a tiktok style for you page now and you get it recommended to you?
It was a bot on someone else’s account, because we’re at that point. It also had a link that I wouldn’t even click if my life depended on it.
