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.

    Could someone please ELI5 that script. I’m all for keeping things clean, but old enough to remember the days of console based trolling.

      sudo

      As root

      find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files

      Find files in /srv/lemmy... that:

      -type f

      Are plain files (not directories, symlinks, etc; includes images)

      -ctime -1

      And were created within an amount of time (probably last day, haven’t used this flag in a while)

      -exec rm {} \\;

      For each matching file found execute rm on it (delete it).
