And, if you are comfortable with sharing, what are some of the worst things that you've seen?

I don't see disturbing stuff that often, usually few times a year, but it's usually some very disgusting csam.
Most of the time it's just spam and trolls, but from time to time these degenerates show up.
It doesn't really have any lasting effect on me, I kinda manage to not think about it at all. I guess my aphantasia helps here as well, I think it's much harder for folks who can visualise things in their mind.
Can you report it? My vague understanding is that the laws of the country where the server is hosted apply, so hopefully the police would have resources to investigate.
We can and we do. Though I wouldn't expect much out of it. I live in the EU and while it's great at many things, being quick to act is not one of them.
Csam on lemmy?? What??
Here's a handy flowchart for checking if a website has had CSAM uploaded to it:
Has the site ever allowed file uploads by users?
-> No: Users have not uploaded any CSAM.
-> Yes: The site has had CSAM uploaded to it.
CSAM is the reason I wouldn't consider self hosting tbh. I fear it could result in me having hundreds of GBs worth of the stuff without me even noticing.
I guess so
The fact that you aren't aware is a good sign that mods/admins are doing their jobs.
That and I'm truly greatful to all the users who may have noticed it first and reported them so that we can take care of it✊
