Lol I don't think I was here yet for that, but that makes sense. The other part of the patch was lazy loading content which I think was merged into the core codebase? So it makes sense that most of that was eliminated.

Still, I was hoping to see more adjustments that would pertain specifically to keeping content moderation easier given the inherent difficulty this instance faces

Ok so I don't actually see any major change to the codebase there that helps protect the instance owner. The js patch doesn't seem to be working right, I don't see those blur/autoload controls in my sidebar on desktop. And to the server the only commit is apparently to "show nsfw by default".

I think you would be wise to consider more patching to handle things like auto-purge on certain reports, ensure that deleted content is actually deleted from the server, etc. I haven't reviewed the full lemmy codebase but I'm not convinced it's going to be enough to keep things on the up-and-up in an instance like this.

The ui version in the footer says "UI: 0.18.0-nsfwpatch" - i assume there is a nsfw server patch too. Have you found those repos? We should check the code in there and make sure content is handled appropriately

I do sysadmin and software dev I can help where needed but I cannot provide hosting. Are you sure you’re willing to take on the responsibilities of moderating against illegal content?

I don’t know the tools available through Lemmy but we need strong controls again CP, rape, etc with effective logging and fast response times to takedown requests.

I have absolutely no interest in the front side admin (content moderation, etc) but if we can find hosting in a country that won’t send me to prison for being a part of this, I can do most sysadmin of backend.

Whatever admin team develops from this feel free to dm me and we can discuss how that would work.
