PREVIOUSLY ON THE FEAR&DELIGHT ANTI CSAM SAGA
After my previous run in with legitimate honest to god child porn online I figured “damn- I’m not doing enough here to combat this stuff.” You see I wont rest until my community and by extension my home is free from child exploitation. I’d rather DRAW someone catching a case, not catch that case myself thank you very much!
As of the time of writing my methodology for rooting out CSAM content has been to manually monitor my @SCL and Kodo Weekly feeds for bad actors. I then do some digging and see if there’s anyone else to add. For those curious my criteria for reporting is the same for adding accounts to the CSAM block-list
I’ve recently noticed however that there’s a bit of a problem with that list- a large chunk of accounts are still there remaining! Now, I could go in and manually re-report these accounts but that’s going to take a long long time. So, I figured I’d do us all a favor and develop a UserScript for everyone to enjoy. Consider it my late Christmas present for you all (because this is gonna be done awhile after Christmas) Right now its very simple and basic, but I aim to add a load of quality of life features that I always find really tedious normally such as reporting people. Here’s a demonstration.
What was that? What just happened? This my friend, is a UserScript! Think of it like a browser extension that has a much lower barrier to entry and allows you to see the code of what you’re running! This particular UserScript aims to be similar to the 4chan x UserScript in that it adds various helpful additions to the website all with a handy menu for customization! I still don’t know what to call it so feel free to suggest names!
My programming skills are admittedly rusty, but hopefully it should work fine enough (given they don’t ever make a major change to layout of the website and break everything)
The current planned features for v1.0 are as follows.
- Expanding the menus on profiles (I.e pinning buttons to easily add people to lists, and an easily accessible report button)
- Flagging system for CSAM (see the video: It tries to detect bad actors automatically… but its up to you to not take the flagging system for its word)
Future content that has higher priority because it provides personal utility.
- Adding users to lists via post.
Future content I might add if I ever get around to it (or pull it off) are as follows.
- A favorites button & favorites tab (I don’t plan on hosting server infrastructure for this, so the fact you favorite something wont be visible to anyone but you. It will be stored in browser too so don’t clear your browser storage for Blue Sky if you want your faves kept!)
- Making this baby open source!!! (sorry in advance for my spaghetti code)
That’s all for now! My kofi is https://ko-fi.com/fearanddelight if you’d like to support me and my jack of all trades ass content.
