~~Someone could potentially decide to post something like that in a memes community to cause trouble, which would be worrying for a self-hoster like me. My instance isn't subscribed to anything remotely sketchy, so it sounds like I'm unaffected here, but it could happen.~~
Ignore the previous, that's literally what they did. I went in and manually purged it from the command line by removing every image from the last 24 hours. For other lemmy admins wanting to do the same (assuming a standard docker setup):
sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;
Thanks, haven't been on my instance for a few weeks and I come back to this shit show. Bye bye memes of the last two (just to be sure) days. I wonder how I can even prevent that shit from happening again.
This will happen again. We need better moderation tools
There's services which filter that for you, which you can add to your posting pipeline. Somebody already mentioned cloudflare's variant
You need to use shred instead of rm. If you use rm the data still lives on your drive until it gets overwritten
I made dedicated posts about it and corrected the mistake there, I missed this comment. Thanks for pointing it out.
