Literal strawman… Just because you don’t like another instance’s politics doesn’t mean you can just accuse them of posting CSAM. Wtf? Honestly disgusting & chilling. This is the tactic that the far right uses, “anyone who I don’t like is a groomer”.

I wonder what actual Chinese people think, anyone originally from China able to weigh in?

On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet

I know you’re 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

Self hoster here, im nuking all of pictrs. People are sick. Luckily I did not see anything, however I was subscribed to the community.

• Did a shred on my entire pictrs volume (all images ever):

sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs -type f -exec shred {} \;

• Removed the pictrs config in lemmy.hjson

• removed pictrs container from docker compose

Anything else I should to protect my instance, besides shutting down completely?

My experience with IRC is that just like Reddit was, it is filled with entrenched mods and admins that act like petty kings and treat the channels/servers as their personal fiefdom. Some of these people have been mods and admins for like 15+ years. Incredibly cliquish and off putting, hostile to new users.

I think IRC could work but only if you create your own server and invite like minded people, and maybe rotate mods/admins regularly, lest the same thing happen to your server.

This is why I made my own instance, when the large instances defederate from one another they are effectively censoring and controlling what you see. In most cases, that means banning any sort of marxist discussion.

I loved the original 196 and how supportive it was for LGBTQ+ people. Also because it was hilarious. Keep rockin

That’s a good and sadly realistic point.

I read a forum post back in the day about a guy that forced his wife and kids to use FreeBSD and they hated it. It was pretty funny but I also don’t want to be that guy

Yeah that stopped on 09/12/2001.

A lot of people should be concerned about this for .me domains as well (Montenegro)
