There have been users spamming CSAM content in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.

I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command: sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;

Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.

Update

Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.

big F in chat for those of you dealing with this. my #1 fear about setting upand instance.

It impacts everyone when this shit happens. It takes time for mods/admins to take down. And you can’t unsee it.

I hope nobody else has the misfortune of stumbling on that shit

There have been studies which found playing tetris for an hour or two after seeing something traumatic can prevent it taking root in our longterm memory.

I tried it once after accidentally clicking a link on reddit that turned out to be gore, I can't remember exactly what it was now (about 9 months later) so it must have worked

This advice is a few hours too late for me. Hope it helps others

Cue Homer Simpson: This is the worst thing you've seen in your life so far

I just posted an article explaining the study to the 'You Should Know' community, so hopefully some of the people who need to see it do so

That’s pretty genious. One way to work with trauma is moving the eyes from side to side along to a moving light. It’s basically to force the brain to work through something that used to stall it. So tetris, since it is highly reactive and logical, also needs spatial thinking, should very much force the brain to work instead of stalling.

Yeah you really can’t. I’m pretty desensitized from earlier internet with death and other shock gore content but had managed to avoid CSAM until today. It was a lot worse than I expected, felt my heart drop. Worse, my app autoplays gifs in thumbnail so it kept going while I was reporting it.

I’ve mostly forgotten and it wasn’t on my mind until I saw this thread (happened less than 24hr ago) but even the slightest reminder is oddly upsetting. Wish I’d thought of the Tetris thing.
