Sorry for the short post, I'm not able to make it nice with full context at the moment, but I want to quickly get this announcement out to prevent confusion:

Unfortunately, people are uploading child sexual abuse images on some instances (apparently as a form of attack against Lemmy). I am taking some steps to prevent such content from making it onto lemm.ee servers. As one preventative measure, I am disabling all image uploads on lemm.ee until further notice - this is to ensure that lemm.ee can not be used as gateway to spread CSAM into the network.

It will not possible to upload any new avatars or banners while this limit is in effect.

I'm really sorry for the disruption, it's a necessary trade-off for now until we figure out the way forward.

And yet look how many replies it's getting

You just accused hexbears of not only possessing but also posting images of children being r****, and youre really shocked that users from here came out to tell you that that's complete bullshit? Would you just not respond if I started making posts saying "hey everybody, just so you know, @[email protected] likes to download images of CSAM and post them on the internet" with absolutely no evidence except general vibes that I don't like you?

I accused? I think you are delusional and your reply makes me more hopeful to block your whole instance.

You literally just said that you think hexbear users were posting CSAM to lemm.ee

whats the over/under wager that it was retaliation for the recent "h e x b e a r" shit?

You need to learn the definition of literally.

So what other possible interpretation is there of that comment? would you be fine with coming into a hypothetical comments section about some similar CSAM spam being done against hexbear and seeing

whats the over/under wager that it was retaliation from thisbenzingring for being made fun of by hexbears?
