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.

    So, from memory there has been:

    • This recent attack
    • Regular DDOS attacks
    • Frequent attempts to spam community creation
    • That one time the instance got hacked and set to redirect to shock sites

    Am I missing anything?

    This seems like more than just a few trolls. Maybe someone really doesn’t want to see user-owned social media take off.
