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 shred {} \;

Update
Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.
See, I don’t believe this was done by a large corp. But all the DDoSing that’s happened? I can see u/spez orchestrating that.
Lemmy isn’t a threat to Reddit. It’s the same old trolls doing it like every other time.
I don’t think they do see it as a threat, I just think spez is petty enough and juvenile enough to do it.
it’s this https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-feel-bad-for-you-i-dont-think-about-you-at-all
Like, again, I pretty solely think it’s spez’s own personal ego shit. For example, he could have just shutdown the API. Instead, he had a weeks-long meltdown including committing libel against a developer. Someone like Zuckerberg doing this doesn’t make any sense to me, but I can totally see spez being exactly that kind of petty.
He’s have to acknowledge Lemmy being a threat, which it’s not, and which his ego won’t allow anyway. The simplest answer is the best.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
