Sorry for the short post, I’m not able to make it nice with full context at the moment, but I want to quickly get this announcement out to prevent confusion:

Unfortunately, people are uploading child sexual abuse images on some instances (apparently as a form of attack against Lemmy). I am taking some steps to prevent such content from making it onto lemm.ee servers. As one preventative measure, I am disabling all image uploads on lemm.ee until further notice - this is to ensure that lemm.ee can not be used as gateway to spread CSAM into the network.

It will not possible to upload any new avatars or banners while this limit is in effect.

I’m really sorry for the disruption, it’s a necessary trade-off for now until we figure out the way forward.

      You’re inflating my interest. They’re just unable to say “oh I gave you the wrong link, here is the right one.”

          If I gave bad url, you would have mocked me. You’re giving your comrade a break.

          I will only put forth the amount of effort they do. If they can’t be bothered to check their work, I’m not going to be bothered to assist them in finding their own sources.

          Either way, the data has nothing to do with the main topic, so I’m wondering how we got here. Adios.
