It has been brought to my attention that this content is in fact banned, has been since 2022, and Cohost just haven't bothered to update that very important fact in the community guidelines. It's baffling to me that it took a massive community response to let the staff know that we would rather not have fucking CSEM on this site instead of having it banned from day 1, but as it stands I don't in fact have any reason to ditch this site like I thought I did yesterday.
I apologize for having to bring up this triggering topic to my followers. If it makes you feel any better, I had a stress nightmare last night as a result of this situation lol.
I see I'm being vagueposted-about by at least one person regarding this topic. Which is just, really weird and immature and genuinely not something I expected to experience outside of Twitter. So I just want to say if you take issue with me taking issue with Cohost's pisspoor handling of this issue MONTHS after it already became a problem due to them still not bothering to update their guidelines to reflect their change of opinion, it would benefit us both if you just spoke to me directly so we could discuss this like grown ups. Let's not do this weird petty shit, please? I wasn't even using this site the first time people began talking about this back in October.
You can't really "dig up old discourse" if it's an issue new people are still running into.
