    Yes. Obviously we’re talking about Lemmy. We just still fundamentally disagree on the forms of harm, psychic and physical, that can be experienced through the rapid propagation of CSAM. Lemmy’s lacking mod tools have been a major topic of discussion for a while now. I don’t care to carry on this conversation because it’s clear our starting points are too far apart to meet in the middle

      I think the other guy’s comment is well suited as a response to this, so again I’ll copy paste:

      The theory behind why CSAM is illegal is that if someone is willing to pay for CSAM it incentivizes production of even more CSAM content to receive more payment. That incentivized additional production means even more abuse. A perfectly reasonable take and something that I think can be demonstrated.

      But why would you accidentally seeing CSAM prompt you to give payment to create that incentivization?

      How could reason possibly prevail when the subject matter is so sensitive?
