Yes. odd how people think sharing CSAM is why people would post here, instead of actually tracking down and prosecuting those sharing CSAM. Details about the users who sharedl CSAM content, such as timestamps - would help identify the offenders for prosecution.

It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool.

Yes, that is in fact the context.

Context: "which is obviously not the intent of this tool. "

it is not my intent to share the images, nor is it the context of the tool.. Sharing details about the users, timestamps - would be the obvious context.

Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump's vision

Give me a break! Can people really not connect the dots of a very obvious time-line?

  1. June 16, 2013, during the Miss USA 2013 pageant in Las Vegas, Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe Organization, and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo announced that the Miss Universe 2013 pageant will take place in Moscow, Russia on November 9, 2013.

  2. June 18, 2013 - Trump on Twitter praising Putin as his best friend, BFF. evidence: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/donald-trumps-tweet-best-friend-939986/

  3. 2013 is when the Saint Petersburg social media troll army was already online. Notable, the same Twitter that Trump is posting on June 18... evidence: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/maxseddon/documents-show-how-russias-troll-army-hit-america

  4. November 9, 2013 - Trump is on Twitter saying he is in Moscow: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/399171340042661889

  5. December 14, 2013 - Putin holds his annual "state of the union" address in Moscow and announces a new movement of global domination via "conservative values". evidence: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/12/vladimir-putin-conservative-icon/282572/

  6. February 20, 2014 - Putin orders Russia to invade Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation

.

Not even getting in the August 24, 2018 announcement by academics that Russia has seeded a pandemic response among the population with the troll army that went online in 2013 (#3 above).

And 2018, and February 22, 2022 ... 2nd invasion of Ukraine response.... https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/6/17656996/trump-republican-party-russia-rather-democrat-ohio

As far as I'm concerned, Russia is unstoppable. Nothing has reversed the trend that started over 10 years ago, and people think it is a domestic issue without understanding/learning one fact of how it played out... Oh my God, I'm so Happy!

I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is...

DRAMTIC EDIT: the records lemmy_safety_local_storage.py identifies, not the images! @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone seems to think it "sounds like" I am ACTIVELY encouraging the spreading of child pornography images... NO! I mean audit files, such as timestamps, the account that uploaded, etc. Once you have the timestamp, the nginx logs from a lemmy server should help identify the IP address.

and avoiding link rot

Lemmy seems built to destroy information, rot links. Unlike Reddit has been for 15 years, when a person deletes their account Lemmy removes all posts and comments, creating a black hole.

Not only are the comments disappeared from the person who deleted their account, all the comments made by other users disappear on those posts and comments.

Right now, a single user just deleting one comment results in the entire branch of comment replies to just disappear.

Installing an instance was done pretty quickly... over 1000 new instances went online in June because of the Reddit API change. But once that instance goes offline, all the communities hosted there are orphaned and no cleanup code really exists to salvage any of it - because the whole system was built around deleting comments and posts - and deleting an instance is pretty much a purging of everything they ever created in the minds of the designers.

Steve Jobs main claim was that visual design and walling people into marriage of software + hardware as a package was important. And based on the loyalty, profits, he seemed to have focused on the right thing.

As quick as Apple could, they went away from the kit Apple I into expensive unique-looking systems. The Lisa being US$9,995 (equivalent to well over $30,000 in 2023)... NeXT was pretty much the same high-end vision.

Bill Gates bailing out Apple so there could be two main companies like Pepsi and Coke, I really don't get why people don't criticize that. Microsoft was ahead in the Smartphone area long before the iPhone, if they had not bailed out Apple...

yha, what do people think the FBI is for... this isn't crazy. They can get access to ISP logs, VPN provider logs, etc.

CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts

The federal governments of several nations should be in pursuit of this, and IP addresses and specific time logs shared.

[–] BitOneZero@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Nothing like a little bit of corporate sabotage!

The software developers who created Lemmy openly criticize systems of government and economics. These are nation-state battlegrounds too. The barrier to entrance is very low, as Lemmy doesn't even do routine tracking of account creation, rate-limiting alone isn't really defensive. 15 years ago sites like Reddit had major vote manipulation detection logic behind the scenes. This is pretty much unleashed playground for a lot of known tactics.

Yes crazies are getting crazier and louder

It isn't just their words, since 2014 they believe all kinds of wild things, and the pandemic was just one example of how they act out on these belief as business owners, neighbors, organizations. It isn't just politics.

Already evidence that they didn't understand what Hitler was and just symbolically associated black color with bad things.

I wouldn't be concerned about trending itself, it's that people seem to be favoring trends that are objectively bad. The pandemic people kept saying it wasn't real and would go away when summer of 2020 came... but that proved wrong, and so few seem to want to learn from the lesson of going against science in favor of Fox News or whatever other negative trend that crowds keep following. If we were trending towards building affordable houses for more people and sheltering the homeless and not making rent lock people into jobs they don't want - I'd thing it was progress. But right now, the crowds seem to be flocking to some negative-oriented Nazi kind of shit.

curl 'https://lemmy.world/api/v3/community/list?type_=Local&sort=Old&limit=1&page=250000&show_nsfw=true'

Returns a result for page 250,000 - and if you edit that number +1 it still returns the same final item in the list. Does this on all the sorts I tried. I am not getting this behavior on lemm.ee or lemmy.ml

With page limit at 50, it ends up returning the final same list of 50 no matter what page number you increment past the final page. This could be causing some front-end apps to endlessly load the list.

the lemmy-ui interface seems to be having the same problem: https://lemmy.world/communities?listingType=Local&page=250001

 

I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: https://lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that's all I've seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world

EDIT: seems that lemmy.ml is getting some content delivered to .world, but .world communities seem islands on .ml that only have local new posts/comments.

lemmy.world had a DDOS in the past 24 hours, Lemmy.ml was showing problem, but now it is entirely unreachable. lemmy.world was showing "Error!" page (server still reachable), but that seems to have only lasted for a hour or so.

Enterprise: enterprise.lemmy.ml -- Thank you!

 

Be aware that Lemmy federation, comments and postings going from instance to instance, is having serious reliability problems.

There also seems to be no known tool to measure or fix these problems. I suspect many site operators are unaware of the extent of the problem and don't realize that comments and postings are not copying from server to server.

Part of the growing pains of a complex app.

Another symptom of the problem is 'pending' when you join a remote community and it never changes to 'joined'. This is a sign that your home Lemmy instance isn't communicating properly with the other Lemmy isnstance.

There's a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there's a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application.

Would love some help if anyone is interested.

Preview so far though much yet still has to be done
