Are people being verified before posting nsfw content?
I remember on Reddit that the various gonewild communities have verification processes to ensure everyone posting content is over the age of 18. I'm not entirely sure how the communities here work, but I figured some of the mods for those spaces here probably lurk asklemmynsfw; hence posting the question here!
(sorry if that made no sense! I'm not great at wording things lol)
Very good question that needs to be answered. With the growth of these communities, CSEM, revenge porn, rape, etc. are going to be posted more and more commonly. What are the moderators doing to prevent this?

Also, legally speaking, anyone running a Lemmy instance with these things on it could be charged. Laws like this are why big sites have a lot of moderation or often choose to get rid of NSFW stuff entirely.
IANAL: can you be charged for holding a hyperlink to a server that hosts but not host the image yourself? I ask because images are not copied as part of federated data. They remain on the original instance.
that's exactly my concern n worries. i don't wanna come across something like that-- i did on a video site once and it was horrifying. Not sure if anything ever happened to it once i reported it tho :(
This is one of the reasons I really hope they are able to incorporate user flair soon, it'd be great if community mods could flair users as having either posted verification or privately having done so.
It makes sense. I think it should be discussed further. I still think there should be a space for mods to discuss this kind of stuff together with site admins.
