This community was included in that spamwave a few months ago. I saw a few CSAM here. We had to lock the entire community down to deal with it.

That spamwave at the time was happening in the entire fediverse btw.

What do you do with something as bad as that. Is there a way to report it to the authorities before you delete it?

[-] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Removed comments or posts (by mods) get logged in the modlog. So admins and mods can still view them.

I was wondering if the bad stuff gets reported to the police. Maybe, that’s up to the admins.

[-] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 5 days ago

Well, we did report them to the admins. Afaik they said they reported it to the police.
