PSA: you can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude. That would be bad 😱 - eviltoast

    That’s pretty unfortunate for the blog author, can imagine making that kind of mistake early in the morning will really wake you up.

    The blog doesn’t mention specifically whether the author had uploaded using a Lemmy app or the webui AFAICT - if he used an app, there are some that actually store the auth/delete token returned by image uploads, and provide a section within the app where you can manage/delete (purge) images you’ve previously uploaded to Lemmy

    In the future, please use cross post instead and not click bait titles into different communities.

    On a more related note, do you have knowledge if the image was federated outwards? I’m fairly sure I’ve subscribed to that community, so there may be an off chance I have received a copy of the image as part of federation. Is there any way to scour other instances to find images that is federated out and needs to be removed?

      Fortunately, in my case, my image was “orphaned” and never actually attached to a post or comment, so it wouldn’t have federated.

      If the image has already federated then that’s a whole next level problem :(
