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.

Personally, I would love it if all NSFW pictures were banned. There's deepai.org's nsfw detection bot. No idea if it costs money to use the api or not.

You can detect NSFW images for free using the AI Horde

Pricing: $5 per 100 API calls, or $5 per 500 for DeepAI Pro subscribers

If anyone wants to have a faster way of uploading images to Imgur on iOS, here‘s a shortcut for that.

How does one disable image uploads on their server? I want to disable it for a while

Better shut the internet down then. This will only continue to worsen now that anybody can generate whatever images they want with AI assistance. Such image hashes will not be in CSAM databases (if AI generated imagery is even CSAM)

Just checking -- Is this still in effect?

I assume this is why I can't change the banner on the community I moderate (on lemm.ee).

I totally understand why this had to happen. I'm just looking for a status update.

Any chance that gravatar support could be implemented? This would allow some basic functionality without hosting content on lemm.ee servers.

We had to deal with something similar on lemmygrad a while ago. All power to you for destroying these annoying bastards.

How did you guys deal with this?

[-] ExtravagantEnzyme@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Seems like this is still disabled, is it now in play for the foreseeable future? What about setting a time frame in which no images can be posted until it's surpassed? Or maybe have an approval required for adding the avatar and banner?

Hey, this post is quite old, actually you can find the latest info in the sidebar of our front page:

  • Image uploads are enabled 4 weeks after account creation
  • Image upload limit is 500kb per image

Okay, so I'll be set in the next few days. Many thanks!!!
