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.

To be fair, some of the rhetoric you all use makes your political compass difficult to navigate.

As I said, the question is welcome no matter how tedious I might personally find it, just like any question asked in good faith.

Complete aside: polcomp is a bad way of attempting to understand politics. It has no way of understanding Marxism.

political compass

Anyone that uses this to navigate politics is themselves politically illiterate.

Ahhh yes, someone who cannot read between the lines to understand the true meaning. Thank you for this wonderful example.

Its really not complicated.

Just communist/anarchist/far more left than normal western discourse with a large amount of cynicism.
