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 rm {} \;
As someone mentioned in one of the posts, you should use
shredand notrmto remove any trace of it, rm will just delete the pointer, the file will still technically be there.Fucking hell, can’t have nice shit can we?
I see you everywhere lol

Sadly until the two Lemmy devs work on improving moderation/admin level solutions, Lemmy as a piece of software is going to be vulnerable to this sort of thing.
I would imagine running a Lemmy instance is a bit like a game of whack-a-mole at the moment.
The 2 devs could do more but it also is FOSS, anyone of us could step up and write a tool or 2 to help
There is one being developed atm and legality might be an issue.
Yikes I didn’t realize how archaic the US laws really were.
Good luck to all the hosters out there dealing with this shit
Can i get an ELI5 run down on CSAM? I’ve seen it mentioned several times on different communities
To add to this, the reason more people are calling it CSAM now and not “child porn” is because advocates for and survivors of sexual exploitation have been vocal about how “porn” implies a level of consent which is incapable of being present.
Sure, but I feel also takes away the emotional impact of the term. “Child porn” gives me visceral repulsion, CSAM sounds like I need a topical ointment to fix it. Clinicizing it tends to have the effect of normalizing it.(shell shock -> PTSD, retard -> special needs) which can be good but not in this case.
And (although obviously much less important) not using the acronym cp will make it easier to communicate
Child sexual abuse material. Absolutely disgusting and horrible stuff.
Oh, yikes, thanks
Because “CP” is just a command after all, at least for the typical Lemmy user
