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.

Sure friend.

As they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it type the search terms into the world bank database and click or even view the link where another user started it for you just for you earlier in the thread but the horse chose to ignore it instead because they gave a different URL earlier... and make the horse drink?

I think that's how the saying goes.
