There have been users spamming CSAM content in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world 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.
Pict-rs has been the single largest pain of self-hosting a tiny Lemmy instance. I really hope things improve. I like hosting it myself but I can’t do it as a second job, having to figure out my own hacks and workarounds just to keep it running and not serving up illegal crap.
Thank you! I was looking into running this a week or two ago when I was doing some maintenance but I gave up and shelved the project for later due to the complexity. My Lemmy instance is running in AWS and I’m going to have to put some work into my network setup on both ends to be able to connect to a computer with a GPU at home.
I’m glad the community is working to resolve some of these issues. Hopefully some of this will get easier and more cost-effective.
