I agree that CSAM protection is lacking, but the software is not an alpha. As a platform I use it just as much as I used to use Reddit and usually it's much faster, more enjoyable and not profit driven.
CSAM protection is essential, but it's a very hard problem to solve and naturally it takes time. Feature wise though, it's constantly improving and showing how powerful FOSS can be when enough people are interested in it.
I agree that CSAM needs to be fixed as soon as possible, I'm just pointing out that despite this huge problem, the software is otherwise doing very well and improving faster and faster as more people join in.
That's because you're only seeing it from the eyes of a user. Talk to any admin of a big instance and you'll see how inadequate it is. Or just head over to Beehaw, they have made some very detailed statements on how much of a nightmare Lemmy is, and on the current bleak state of development.
