Are you thinking of the mastodon based Kolektiva.social? The server hosting it was apparently seized by the FBI for an unrelated raid on the owner of the instance. There wasn’t anything related to CSAM in that situation though
The server wasn’t raided, the person being raided had an unencrypted backup of the instance database on their personal computer, which got seized in a raid unrelated to the Mastodon server.
Out of the loop, what happened to vlemmy?
Actual answer:
The admin just kinda wiped everything without any announcement. Shut down donation links and all. As far as I’ve heard nobody ever figured out why.
must have been the one seized by the FBI for CSAM that I was hearing about—but don’t quote me on that

Nope, AFAIK the only CSAM instance I know of was burggit.
