There has been a shitty incident where someone intentionally posted CSAM to a Lemmy community that unfortunately someone in our instance was subscribed to. Due to federation, the images might have been copied over to our instance storage.
Because of that I’ve taken the following measures until we understand the problem better:
- I’ve defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
- I’ve deleted all images uploaded since 2023-08-27 00:00:00 GMT.
- I’ve disabled the image server.
I’ll post updates when I have them. Thanks for understanding.
Yeah, I was reading some posts about that. Fortunately I had work so I happened to not be online when all that was going on. Extremely unfortunate, but you do what you gotta do. Hopefully the assholes that did that get the boot and worse.
