First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!
If you block porn-related instances suchas lemmynsfw and pornlemmy, you’ll drastically reduce your chance of getting CSAM contents on your instance. Not saying those instances promotes that kind of stuff, but many dubious instances (the ones with kiddie/doll banners) federate with them, and might post bad stuff when the mods aren’t looking.
If you’re still super worried about it, you can host your instance behind cloudflare and enable their CSAM scanning tool.
Has anybody managed to get CyberTipline credentials for the CSAM scanning tool? I filled out their form and never heard back.
You’re supposed to contact them at espteam@ncmec.org in order to start the enrollment process, and it seems the service is only for US-based operators.
I did that, but never heard back, and I am US-based… very odd. Thanks for your reply!
These kind of organizations usually take their time when responding email, and certainly not on weekend.
It’s been more than a week, otherwise I’d think the same thing.
