cross-posted from: https://jamie.moe/post/113630

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.

    You don’t get a lot of upvotes and sure we don’t know but it isn’t like the NSA infiltrated (in person) left wing groups and more.

    It’s definitely a possibility that someone doesn’t like decentralised content enough to put some meager efforts against it.
