I spent about a month or so tinkering with Diaspora and I feel your pain. Wherever free speech is paramount, it comes at a price. Some people feel that free speech and free "expression" shouldn't be free. I have rarely circled back to my Diaspora account since discovering similar disturbing images/messages.

If it's helpful to you, there are many other decentralized networks. So far as I can tell, Mastodon has better moderation controls that can block entire instances. It doesn't stop bad things from happening. The only confort I can gleam from that is that those who do/say terrible stuff do so at the risk of being seen and discovered.
