It impacts everyone when this shit happens. It takes time for mods/admins to take down. And you can’t unsee it.
I hope nobody else has the misfortune of stumbling on that shit

There have been studies which found playing tetris for an hour or two after seeing something traumatic can prevent it taking root in our longterm memory.
I tried it once after accidentally clicking a link on reddit that turned out to be gore, I can’t remember exactly what it was now (about 9 months later) so it must have worked

This advice is a few hours too late for me. Hope it helps others

I just posted an article explaining the study to the ‘You Should Know’ community, so hopefully some of the people who need to see it do so

Yeah you really can’t. I’m pretty desensitized from earlier internet with death and other shock gore content but had managed to avoid CSAM until today. It was a lot worse than I expected, felt my heart drop. Worse, my app autoplays gifs in thumbnail so it kept going while I was reporting it.
I’ve mostly forgotten and it wasn’t on my mind until I saw this thread (happened less than 24hr ago) but even the slightest reminder is oddly upsetting. Wish I’d thought of the Tetris thing.
