Regardless of the debate of whether admins should be legally liable for not deleting unknown child abuse digital files,

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think seeing a small number of pictures is going to scar you for life. I’ve seen goatse. I’ve seen people decapitated. It’s not pleasant, and I avoid those things, but it’s not scarring.

You shouldn’t use your own experiences to make this generalisation, given that people working at agencies prosecuting pederasts often have to receive therapy or even leave the job after continued exposure.

I am disturbed that people are afraid of unused images hiding on their Lemmy server.

Don’t you think it’s logical for someone to be worried about being vulnerable to being accused of what likely is, in many legal systems, a crime?

If you want to share what you’re making, dip your toes into the water. Some communities will appreciate the self-promotion as long as you do it in a sensible way, and other won’t. Right now, some degree of self promotion is great because it’s new content, which the Fediverse needs.

Yeah, given the Fediverse’s much smaller amount of active users and its shorter history, it barely has niche communities nor a wealth of specific knowledge. Anyone who wants the Fediverse to be able to support that role that Reddit currently fulfills of non-corporate information has to know that there’s a very large road ahead and it needs active building.

Before any of the usual suspects comes in to defend LinkedIn for “trying to make money”, have you tried publishing a job offering on LinkedIn? If you haven’t, shut up, they’re already making cash. If you have, my brother in Christ, you think they need MORE???
