A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.
I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they're not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.
I'm sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn't a line I'm willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won't be reinstating it whilst that community is active.
Do we actually know the community was about? I haven't seen anything remotely as described on lemmynsfw. I have no clue as to how the admins here ran into such a thing.
We also don't know what the admins talked about between themselves. I'm not buying it. Seems more likely that the admins here personally didn't like whatever that was, and added the CSAM label to stop any discussion (cuz if you raise any question you must be a pedo right?). It's their instance they can do as they please.
Another more feasible thing is that they just don't want to deal with NSFW content. Just like Reddit & imgur did under the guise of 'protecting users'.
Both of those seem way more likely and with precedent than admins of a server willingly fostering CSAM-like stuff
