What are the risks associated with this? With image uploading capabilities and the like I'm thinking there might be an issue with people posting highly illegal content. I used to run some smaller forums 15 years ago and that went fine, but it feels like the risks are higher today... I'm both thinking about one's own personal mental health in needing to moderate such content, and also whether it'll be a legal liability to run an instance if people post illegal content.

SO CSAM can be used as tool for suppressing

Obviously, and as always has been. Bullying behaviors *work", or people (& animals) would not bother to expend the effort.

That's a hellva mentally damaged threat actor but I guess it is effective...

So how we know these are not a state doing it or let's say social media competitors against each other?

We don't know who is being it... how would we even? Or someone gets banned, doesn't appreciate that, and retaliates. They do what they want, we do what we must.
