Lol, no you didn’t.

On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet

I know you’re 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

Self hoster here, im nuking all of pictrs. People are sick. Luckily I did not see anything, however I was subscribed to the community.

• Did a shred on my entire pictrs volume (all images ever):

sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs -type f -exec shred {} \;

• Removed the pictrs config in lemmy.hjson

• removed pictrs container from docker compose

Anything else I should to protect my instance, besides shutting down completely?

Not only is this racist but it’s lazy and unfunny too, even without the racism. Who buys discs anymore? Are you a boomer?

A new federated platform that is self-run, hosts your identity only and allows you to interact from websites from your own app on your own phone or computer, to start. None of this signing up 500 trillion accounts for each and every website garbage.

But Lemmy can literally do this. I am doing it right now. I’m the only user on my instance.

My experience with IRC is that just like Reddit was, it is filled with entrenched mods and admins that act like petty kings and treat the channels/servers as their personal fiefdom. Some of these people have been mods and admins for like 15+ years. Incredibly cliquish and off putting, hostile to new users.

I think IRC could work but only if you create your own server and invite like minded people, and maybe rotate mods/admins regularly, lest the same thing happen to your server.
