Broken images (aussie.zone)

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.

I fully support what you are doing but I'm not sure I completely get it. If the attack was against a community on another instance, why do you have to wipe images on this instance? Are images posted on all federated instances stored on the Aussie.zone server?

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.

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