Trolls are spamming CP on AskLemmy@Lemmy.world (self.meta)

I don't know if you need this info, but I was pretty disturbed to see unexpected child pornography on a casual community. Thankfully it didn't take place on SLRPNK.net directly, but if anyone has any advice besides leaving the community in question, let me know. And I wanted to sound an alarm to make sure we have measures in place to guard against this.

If the same trolls got 10 accounts, they could find some other way to exploit the security gap, and also delete any posts warning about it.

Maybe it would help if communities could turn off image uploading? I mean asklemmy doesn't hardly ever has a reason for there to be a picture. Communities that need it of course would still need other security measures.
