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.
This might be a good thread to ask:
Does anyone know if any of the Lemmy apps support direct imgur uploads for Lemmy?
I remember RIF used to do that for reddit back in the day before reddit supported direct image hosting.
Memmy on iOS does.
