I am going to be disabling image uploads and image serving, moving to moderated signups, and instituting some extensive block lists on infosec.pub due to the pervasive problems with CSAM attacks on lemmy instances.

No, it’s not happened to any of our instances yet, but I don’t need that headache. And if anyone does, I promise you that I will make it my life’s mission to see that those responsible are convicted and rotting in prison where they belong. ❤️

Edit: h/t to @infosec_jcp for pointing out the problem to me.

the main issue is that 1 bad post, can poison a big pool of servers, currently. Lemmy needs a better way to deal with images, to combat this issue.

and I hope none here actively go look for CSAM material... that doesn't mean its not in the network.
