Current spam/attacks of explicit, illegal images (CSAM) posted from various Lemmy instances - How does Reddthat react to it? (reddthat.com)

It seems like, luckily, Reddthat wasn't a victim of such (yet), but I think there should be some precaution applied here as well.

What is it about?

I am worried of such happening on our instance. Is anything planned?

Thanks for your explanation and nice words for Reddthat.

Disabling local image cache results in a terrible experience especially with super big instances who are overloaded. While we may end up storing content from other services there is a timed purge feature where images are removed after x days. So I'm not worried about that.

Because once we remove the reported post we would no longer be serving the images because no-one would get the images.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that all illegal content is removed from the platform in a timely manner. Such as actioning reports from users as soon as possible. There isn't really any other way.

I doubt it will get worse as they have already got what they wanted. A huge reaction.

On the lighter note of us blocking instances we've already covered that here: https://reddthat.com/comment/371578
Basically if other instances block us for a reason I'm sure after reaching out and talking about it those instances will unblock us. Once we have sorted out the reason. No one wants to block other instances and it usually comes as a last resort. It amounts to we will deal with it when it comes to it.

Monetary wise I want to eventually get some money from reddthat but currently we are just above breaking even with donations and hosting costs but I don't want to just start taking money from the hard won donations.

Cheers!
