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.

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.
