Bro, I get being frustrated about stuff but it’s a single post that’s being wary of CSAM. While I’m with you, as the report thing is bizarre and doesn’t always federate reports properly, I also see where they’re coming from. People stayed away from AskLemmy for a little bit too but they’re coming back now. The content that some people saw was awful and they want to make sure it doesn’t happen again so they’re backing off for a little.
They’re not making you or other mods look inept. They don’t know what happened. A clarification post like this is useful in alleviating those fears in people but getting angry with those posters for wanting to protect themselves and be upset doesn’t help anyone here.
