Doesn't lemmy allow the communities to only allow text as posts? Could be a future feature

[-] [email protected] 73 points 7 months ago

I feel like this is an underrated idea. Resonates with the whole thing of making a subset of the internet simpler and just like documents, as with the simpler protocols like Gemini etc.

That would still allow links to be posted. Better than allowing image posts, but not a complete solution.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 7 months ago

It prevents concerns about hosting CSAM posted by someone else. A categorical improvement I’d say. But yes, nothing’s perfect.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

Still better than nothing. Easier for mods of text-only communities to only have text-only posts submitted.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

If we then add a few conditions: "no links in the root message" and "OP may not be the first to comment within some unspecified amount of time," that could make it even easier to limit CSAM.

You're right. I thought of another idea: use karma to decide who can post links, images and/or videos. 50 general karma for links, 100 for pictures, you get the idea.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Not an effective solution for a federated service. Just spin up a new instance and give yourself karma. Shoot, there is no centralized service for validating accounts, so just set up 50 alts across 50 instances.

That's a terrible idea and so easily gamed.
