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.

    Self hoster here, im nuking all of pictrs. People are sick. Luckily I did not see anything, however I was subscribed to the community.

    • Did a shred on my entire pictrs volume (all images ever):

    sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs -type f -exec shred {} \;

    • Removed the pictrs config in lemmy.hjson

    • removed pictrs container from docker compose

    Anything else I should to protect my instance, besides shutting down completely?
