Or I could use a service that employs an army of content moderators to ensure that I am likely never to be placed at legal liability due to content someone else uploaded to the platform.
I tried Mastodon about two or three years ago; I used the largest instance I could find that claimed not to allow Adult content, but which still relayed other instances. I was shown pornographic content as soon as I logged in; some of it illegal in my country.
So I tried another instance that made similar claims. Same problem.
Maybe it's better now. Maybe it's no longer awash in loli hentai or cartoon beastiality.
- mariusor 4y agoI upvoted you but all I'm hearing is that you want people to do the work for you while you don't spend a cent or a drop of sweat on the problem. It has a whiff of entitlement in my opinion.
- dleslie 4y agoI'm happy to pay for quality services.
- lrvick 4y agoSounds like you viewed the global feed on a large server. Twitter has CSAM too btw. https://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/some-twitter-users-are-exploiting-illegal-images-of-children-3693085.html https://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/some-twitter-us... I tend to recommend people find a small server with frienda and friends of friends if they want a public feed they can trust. Or simply follow people they trust to not post illegal content and ignore the firehose. That is what I do. Mastodon is basically an RSS reader for me.
