Tell your friend to log the IP address and report it to the authorities. They might need to turn over the entire modlog as well
This is likely in reference to the federation of such images posted elsewhere
There’s always someone who doesn’t mind ruining it for everyone else. Probably safest to just delete all the images, that way there’s no need to look.
Bad actors will try to nuke the entire platform to maintain a monopoly on this format of communication and community.
Who could you posspezibly be referring to?
Once again reaffirming why I refuse to host an instance. If I ever do, I’m not federating with any of you degenerates lol
Your friend should have restricted account creation.
Federation still causes those images to be saved on your hardware, even if the account that creates it is hosted somewhere else.
Bless you ❤️
You referenced the Nazi term, “degenerate.” Most of the time the people behind these attacks are very much aligned with Nazi ideology.
You are dumb.
It’s never a drag queen, it’s always an authority.
I don’t think anyone ever brought up drag queens being behind it, OP’s just using a word that has evolved in meaning. Much like how words like “stupid”, “moron”, etc went from official terms to refer to the mentally disabled, to slurs, to regular insults.
Nazis targeted people for sexual degeneracy before they went after the Jews. I was simply pointing out that most CP posting hackers are in fact, Nazis themselves and the title is using Nazi terminology to place blame on degenerates.
Well, it doesn’t appear that you have learned the concept of language shift.
Degeneracy is always a Nazi ideology.
“Degenerate” is a word that has been used by many people in many contexts both before and after nazis were in power. It’s the privative prefix “de-” + the latin root for creation/birth. Broadly speaking, it just means someone or something altered over time in a way that they no longer function properly. I see how it can be used in a way that aligns with nazi ideology, but that’s not all it can be used for, or how it’s used here.
Degeneracy is the core ideology behind every genocide. You accuse me of not understanding language shift. I say you don’t understand the overton window.
I dont understand why this post is downvoted so much. It is calling the people who undermine Lemmy with CP Nazis (which they probably are) and points out some historical context of a specific term. I thought Lemmy would be up for that.
There’s a strong right wing element in the Lemmy comment section, especially in places where abusive behavior can be disguised as comedy or virtue signaling. I don’t care about the votes. If they hate me, I’m still in their heads.
I agree. This word is almost exclusively used by Nazis now. Let’s not use that word to refer to people, no matter how bad the things they do.
