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.

I wouldn't put it past the hexbear crazies throwing a tantrum. They claim to be left wing... Sure seem more like fascist trumper types though. Maybe it's just that they're all incels and incels all seem about the same.

Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They're one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.

You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Well something to keep in mind is that hexbear isn't one person ... it's a whole community that's developed independently for a while. So it's reasonable to expect that there'd be variation in the behaviours of members in the same way there's variation on the rest of lemmy. From what I've gathered, not all hexbear members are keen on the re-federation, and some aren't too keen on being "well-behaved" around politically opposed users (ie "libs"), though hexbear admins and other users have promised moderation and that such isn't part of the core hexbear values.

It's social media, afterall ... and people can be rather shit and ruin it for the rest of us. In the end, the core service provided a social media platform isn't the hardware, sys-admin-work or software (however necessary they are) ... it's the moderation work.

The moderation keeps the place sanitary enough for people to actually want to be here ... however much we may have problems with particular actions of our moderators, we should really support and praise them at every turn.

At least a handful of users on hexbear had made their intention clear during the first week of re-federation, they were looking to cause chaos on Lemmy for there own pleasure. I don't know if they were banned and/or their comments deleted.

Big difference between a few users who did a bunch of work and the toxic goonsquad the majority of the userbase turned into.

they’re all incels and incels all seem about the same.

Downvote from me there. I’ve seen plenty of examples of hexbear people being nice, interesting and good sports. They definitely seem to have more of shitposting culture than is normal on mainstream lemmy. But all in all it’s seemed fun to me from what I’ve seen.

Beyond all that, this is just superficial and prejudicial. If you had some examples to link to or more substantial insights to share as to why it’d be “them”, that’d be worth reading.

Otherwise, they’re an instance. Not one person, I’m sure some on hexbear are assholes and some awesome.
