Several months ago Beehaw received a report about CSAM (i.e. Child Sexual Abuse Material). As an admin, I had to investigate this in order to verify and take the next steps. This was the first time in my life that I had ever seen images such as these. Not to go into great detail, but the images were of a very young child performing sexual acts with an adult.

The explicit nature of these images, the gut-wrenching shock and horror, the disgust and helplessness were very overwhelming to me. Those images are burnt into my mind and I would love to get rid of them but I don’t know how or if it is possible. Maybe time will take them out of my mind.

In my strong opinion, Beehaw must seek a platform where NO ONE will ever have to see these types of images. A software platform that makes it nearly impossible for Beehaw to host, in any way, CSAM.

If the other admins want to give their opinions about this, then I am all ears.

I, simply, cannot move forward with the Beehaw project unless this is one of our top priorities when choosing where we are going to go.

    Satanic is being used as a synonym for evil here. And there’s nothing evil about Christianity. Just evil satanic people claiming to be Christian

          How is it worse? Have you read the Old Testament in comparison to the New Testament?

              There are many different institutions based on Christianity scaling from the Roman Catholic Church, Church of England, Presbyterian Church of the United States of America to tiny little churches such as small baptist churches and nondenoms.

              So if your criticism is specifically with the Roman Catholic Church, fair enough, but the teachings of Christianity aren’t evil at all and if everyone acted how Jesus acted the world would be a far better place

        You say to read the Bible, but at what point does the New Testament condone slavery, paedophilia and war? It sounds like you haven’t read it
