The point of CSAM scanners is not to protect children, but to circumvent due process by expanding warrantless surveillance. That is antithetical to FOSS.
So, in a word, no.

So you like child porn? I want a way to block bad content from being received and displayed
You have to rely on a 3rd party that provides you hashes or what not to identify images. And that is a business model. Or you could create a DB with hashes (aka getting a yourself) I think you will bring you in all kinds of legal troubleds this way. Or you create a algo for that work and burn through a hell lot of GPU hours (welcome back to a business model)
There Is a tool that someone built directly to scan images uploaded to lemmy for CSAM.
It is really quite clever. The image is put through a ML/AI model, which describes it (Imange to text), then the text is reviewed against a set of rules to see if it has the hallmarks of CSAM. If it does, it is deleted.
This is fully self hosted.
What I like is that it avoids the trauma of a person having to see those sort of things
Poor guy who had to define the rules.
you mean the ML model?
I dont think it is too bad, as it is more like look for a description that has children and a sexual context. This can be trained without CSAM as the model generalises situations it has seen before - a pornographic picture (sexual context) and kids playing at a platground (children in the scene).
