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.

    I’m in the process of hopefully writing a tool to make deletion a bit easier, basically purging all the content not uploaded on my personal server. I can’t help but feel like pict-rs is not ready for prime time yet.

    There is no API endpoint to list all images known in the system. There is no direct connection between posts and images, or even images and users, even if they’re cached locally. This is way more painful than it needs to be.

      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.
