Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs
(sh.itjust.works)
Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can't upload or cache photos. I think this is what I am interested in doing at this time.
I tried commenting out the pictrs section of my docker-compose.yml and removed the "depends on pictrs" sections. However, I get the error message in the attached screenshot when I go to my page.
Does anyone have any info on how to selfhost lemmy with image hosting completely disabled?
Yeah it's been obvious and foreseeable that normal admins won't have the bandwidth to handle takedown requests and cp spam attacks. Sadly the only stable state I see for the fediverse is relying on centralized content hosts that can handle those problems. Well, maybe until AI can do it
Wouldn't you only really need one(or a few) instance that could do the work and flag things for everyone?
Yeah I've envisioned sharable block lists that you can subscribe to similar to pihole. That'd be great
It sucks there's no way to make use of the current csam blocklists except possibly if you're a big enough instance since you can't get access without approval. Instances going through cloudflare that use the cloudflare caching can use it through them but it only works on images it's serving so wouldn't block them being uploaded, just served to other instances.
