PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@lemmy.mltoFediverse@lemmy.ml•Hypothesis: Insufficient moderation tools lead to instance protectionism, which leads to a decline in the overall discussion quality on Lemmy

1 year agothese could be a little more difficult. they seem to be instance level features.
i might be able to do a tool for the first one using filters if there is a way to insert keywords into a report e.g. “To Mods” or “To Admins”
I can think of some things i could implement on the lemmy server side that could help with this, i’m pretty sure that the IWF maintains a list of file hashes for CSAM and there are probably a few other hash sources you could draw from too.
so the process would be something like the following
so for known CSAM you don’t have to subject mods or user to it before it gets pulled.
for new/edited media with unrecognised hashes that does contain CSAM then a mod/admin would have to review and flag it at which point the same permaban for the user, then law enforcement report could be triggered automatically.
The federation aspect could be trickier though. which is why this would probably be better to be an embedded lemmy feature rather than a third party add on.
I’m guessing it would be possible to create an automoderator that does all this on the community level and only approves the post to go live once it has passed checks.
