you can’t encode base64 images on seedit, each fiels has a character limit. Obviously centralized links, from which media is embedded, will be taken down by the relative centralized website.
Comment on I'm the creator of Seedit and I'm here to share how it works and clear up some Concerns/FUDS

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.
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’ll guaranteed to have a dark CSAM subculture on there at some point.

Kids… You ever wonder how “rar” came about?
Usenet had limits on its text only post size as well.

Then use decentralized links or hashes, which is what IPFS uses to identify content. A character limit doesn’t solve this problem fundamentally. Indeed, it’s been a tough problem to solve for decentralized services.

So it’ll be distributed more like Usenet

This seems kinda harsh.
CSAM distribution is possible on pretty much any platform.
As long as the platform isn’t obfuscating a user’s IP address then I don’t see how it’s any worse than any other platform.
A few weeks ago everyone in this community was fawning over some dev’s new anonymous zero-knowledge file sharing platform and no one seemed to care that it would be overrun with CSAM.
HelloRoot@lemy.lol 2 weeks ago
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 because this is a marketing (as in they will be making money from users) push for their crypto platform.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Sure ok. If this is some crypto BS then that’s reason enough to avoid the platform.
I just didn’t think the CSAM angle is much of a criticism, even if they did try to minimise it.

If it’s not obfuscating your IP address, then you’re open to getting targeted by anyone you interact with on a reddit-like platform. That sounds like a circle of hell I’d rather not visit.
