    I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

    It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

    Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn’t let you forget.

      Jesus Christ. On an RC website?! I just don’t even know how to process that. That doesn’t make any sense.

      So sorry you had to see that.

    The internet was simultaneously the best and worst thing for humanity.

      No, they are. There was a spam wave some time ago that had people upload gore and other things onto instances.

      We’re talking about removing hate speech, porn (including CSAM) and gore.

      This has a real impact on mental health and there should be a support network for those who regularly interact with this kind of material.

        also shaming anybody for the labor they have to do to survive is the most reactionary patronizing bullshit ever.
