…maybe we should just develop the woodchipper service? A monitoring app that when notified of an IP will distribute said IP to many destinations when sharing CSAM. Destinations like hacker mailing lists, automated attack vectors, even have a phonebook of all police so to automate the reporting process.

Introducing the WCAAS model - Wood Chipper As A Service - coming to a white van near you.
On a serious note, unfortunately those people use VPNs and tend to be very careful with their IPs. A technological solution won’t do, chipping is the only cure.

Then ban the VPN service’s IP range and mail them the reason why.
I know that sounds like “a slippery slope”, but I’m talking fediverse here and not Facebook.
We have blocklists for platforms, why not VPN’s? Give the user a CloudFlare cached HTMX stating “your VPN is used as an attack vector to spread CSAM. Please consider using another VPN or turning it off altogether”.
We don’t need to tie a user to the IP, only the content.

Actually that has been proposed over the admin matrix chat and I think it could be a smart move. They suggested going as far as banning all VPN IP ranges. But I guess right now everyone is really waiting for the devs to say/do something, before the admins start fixing the problem themselves.
