There have been users spamming CSAM content in [email protected] causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.

I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command: sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec rm {} \;

    I nuked my personal instance because of this :(

    Dealing with pictrs is just frustrating currently since there’s no tools for its database format and no frontend for the API. I half-expected this outcome but I hope it gets better in the future.

    If you aren’t going to fully wipe your drive in horrible events like this, at the very least use shred instead of rm. rm simply removes references to the file in the filesystem, leaving the data behind on the disk until other data happens to be written there.

    Do not ever allow data like that to exist on your machines. The law doesn’t care how it got there.

    I’m not surprised. It was quite common for shitheads on reddit to make an account, post a few comments on /r/againsthatesubreddits, then post CP on other subreddits to spin the narrative that AHS was trying to shut down hate subs.
