the protocol is text only, to embed media, you need to host it on the regular ( Centralized ) internet
except we already figured out how to encode images (or any file) as text when E-Mail was created. That is how images in E-Mails, attachment or embedded, are done. I can easily imagine a userJS script that will render them in the browser, but even if not you just copy the text and decode.
if a community is badly moderated, the user will never see it, it wont be recommended to him. the user can visit bad communities directly just like you can visit a bad website directly, but it’s not recommended to you so it’s safe to use.
Ah… so you’re guaranteed to have a dark CSAM subculture on there at some point.
being p2p, seedit is not private, so it can’t really be used for illegal activity
As if that has ever stopped anybody. See all the people that got caught for sharing it on the clearnet. Or on Signal, Telegram or similar, where you have to enter your phone number, which is personally tied to you.
All in all - Great way to adress the concerns, by admitting they are in fact possible. “Hurray crypto” or whatever.
They claimed there will be no CSAM because of the given reasons.
I wanted to highlight that those reasons do not actually prevent it.
My tone might be harsh (the sarcasm at the end definitely is) because I see this as a marketing push for their crypto platform. “marketing” - as in they will be making money from users, so it is in their interest to tell lies or ignorant half-truths, to make more users come over.
Any normal platform tackles this problem with proper moderation. Platforms that make money, often hire moderators.
