In this case, what do you mean with #Mastodon? The software, their developers, a specific instance, the #Fediverse as a network of thousands of independent servers?
And CSEM? Are you referring to "Child sexual exploitation material"? Which issue?

@nick @sl007 I suspect the instances and users those people first encountered when they came into contact with »Mastodon.«
Yes, CSEM/CSAM, and the accusation isn’t unfounded, though ultimately unavoidable in any decentralized network: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/24/23806093/mastodon-csam-study-decentralized-network
In any case, it’s something that has obviously stuck with many people – and is repeatedly brought up by opponents especially from the Musk camp.

Usually #Fediverse instance operators will defederate such instances like it was done with Gab in 2019.
And obviously not wanted content is not limited to federated networks.
