I've been in a bit of a reading slump these past few days due to you know... gestures around broadly so I am still on my books I was before. I am still enjoying the Percy Jackson book, it feels like a nice escape from everything.

For whatever it's worth, I've both noticed and appreciated your efforts lately.

And just what I've seen of it via posts and announcements has already been enough to sort of vicariously exhaust me, so I can only imagine...

I'm trying my best to be optimistic but tbh if no real change occurs or solutions are actually proposed soon, I might have to shutdown for my own well being here as well. I'm really hopeful it won't come to that. I am attempting to sign up with Cloudflare's CSAM image scanning service as well as looking into ways to disable photo uploads since this instance really isn't even image focused either. If worse comes to worse, we could migrate to firefish I guess. I'm quietly waiting but very impatiently. I'm just rattled emotionally over what happened. I appreciate the support from the community a lot.

Yeah - I was sort of afraid of that. I like this place - you've done a good job here. But there's no reason you should put yourself at risk. So it'd be a shame if it came to that, but it is what it is.

I have faith solutions will be proposed and work out well. There's already an incoming update to disable image caching from remote instances.

While I love this instance, I would totally understand if you shut it down to preserve yourself. I think this little space is great, and I thank you for setting it up and being very on top of problems creeping up. I hope solutions will be found.

Aw I appreciate it. I can say as of right now we aren’t going anywhere :)
