Redditors complaining about CSAM? Last I checked Reddit had a subreddit called r/18_19 (a porn subreddit for adult teenagers aged under 20) with over 1.5 million subscribers. I sorry, but there is no way that all the posters there are over 18, given Reddit's lax verification practices on NSFW instances. That's some "trust me bro" nonsense. Reddit had r/jailbait and violentacerz not even a decade ago. Spez was there back then too.

I have never seen any CSAM on Lemmy. If it's an issue, it should be dealt with the utmost urgency and concern though.

Some people really hate lemmy. There was another post in that subreddit with a screenshot of some csam instance with the title what is wrong with Lemmy. This is enough for people who is looking for a reason to not leave Reddit. Another talking point of these people are the political leaning of Lemmy devs. E.g. See this thread https://mstdn.social/@PVTejas/111022248039156302

Knowing reddit, I'm willing to guess they weren't even talking about actual CSAM either, but instead whining that a certain instance allows lewd drawings of certain fictional characters that are "totally equivalent to real kids being abused!!1!" according to them

downside of lemmyverse: you will get death threats for being a lolicon

upside of lemmyverse: you can send death threats to lolicons

Lemmy.world defederated from that instance though. It also had a problem with trolls spamming actual CSAM to try and get it shut down
