Discussion about the aussie.zone instance itself

founded 1 year ago
MODERATORS
 

Due to some disgusting behaviour, I've kicked off the process of deleting ALL images uploaded in the last day.

You will likely see broken images etc on aussie.zone for posts/comments during this period of time.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but this is pretty much the nightmare scenario for an instance. I'd rather nuke all images ever than to host such content.

The way lemmy caches images isn't well documented. Some third party images are not cached, others are. I don't want to risk it.

Nuking it from orbit, only way to be sure.

Yeah, and not the sort of thing you want to look at to see if you should keep or not.

Ok I see. Thanks for the good work. Hopefully we'll never have to deal with this again.
