Don't suppose there's any news about when the bug that doesn't let some of us upload images will be fixed, is there?

[-] damoun@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago

It’s not a bug, it has been disabled on purpose temporarily.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It would have been nice to know that.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago

There were several pinned posts when it happened.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not about that particular aspect. I read them.

[-] sugartits@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

I didn't read them and I still knew.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Well excuse me for not being as smart as you.

Never said I was smart. I just paid attention a little bit.

The point being made is the fact that you not knowing is on you, not on anyone else.

No need to choose to be offended by that.

I remember seeing a post about it. Maybe you missed it.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I guess. I looked at the pinned posts regularly to see if there was an explanation and didn't see one.

It’s related to the CSAM stuff that happened a bit ago. Most of the instances purged and disabled the Pictrs database until a better solution can be determined. The general thought process is to use an external site for now

Which makes sense. Image serving and threaded text serving probably shouldn't run in the same service. They have completely different storage and caching requirements. Also, they have rather different legal risks for server operators; and thus different moderation requirements.

For example, there are images that it's illegal to possess in the US or Western Europe (CSAM) but there's not a lot of text that's illegal to possess — national security secrets / classified information, yes, but that hasn't been a problem here.
