There's another round of CSAM attacks and it's really disturbing to see those images. It was really bothering to see those and they weren't taken down immediately. There was even a disgusting shithead in the comments who thought it was funny?? the fuck

It's gone now but it was up for like an hour?? This really ruined my day and now I'm figuring out how to download tetris. It's really sickening.

can't you already run Lemmy without image hosting if you just disable the pictrs service?

there's also a new config option to disable caching of remote images

disable caching of remote images

I'm not exactly sure how Lemmy works here, but are pictrs images considered "remote," or are they copied between instances? AFAIK, each instance has its own pictrs service, but I'm not sure if that's sent along with the post content when federating messages.

But if lemmy can interact with other instances without storing any non-text data, then perhaps the problem is solved.
