Reddit does not own human communication. Do not give it such power
/s is a really useful tool to convey non seriousness in a textual conversation. Reddit did not invent it.
The people that realized there was a gap in understanding and starting to textualize sarcastic tone did.
Just like emoticons and memes where embraced by internet culture before. The human condition earns to expressive itself in new and more nuanced ways.

It's hard to say specifically but synth-pop is the best thing I can find. For something similar you could look to Purity Ring and some of Grimes's work. There's also things like Avalanches and I monster which I believe would be called Trip Hop.
Hopefully we'll get it back once this nonsense gets resolved. Was it the most popular .World community? Are there any similar ones that might substitute?
I think some instance owners having been talking to the team behind Lemmy about implementing some sort of detection system. Not sure how long that will take though considering all the feature requests they must be getting
I'd be surprised if there wasn't already something off the shelf they could use. Yahoo released their porn detector decades ago, and with AI being as prevalent as it is, I'd think that wouldn't be too hard to implement. Maybe difficult to implement well though...
What's stopping us from building another? Why aren't there several across the fediverse? Having one de facto just makes it vulnerable to the whims of trolls or a renegade mod.
Under normal circumstances that would make sense, however that is just sidestepping a major problem that needs to resolved. They could just post CSAM to wherever becomes popular.
