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 {} \;
Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.
Update
Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.
Does that disable image saving and processing for one’s instance?
Yup.
So far, mostly everything appears to work still. But, trying to upload an image, just throws an error.
I don’t see a way to actually “gracefully” disable it, but, this works.
Edit- don’t just stop pictrs.
Lemmy gets very pissy… and b reaks.
