What exactly is a KYC selfie? Is it a photo of an ID card? I figured out WUI is WebUI. The author uses some strange acronyms I never heard before.

It's very American that they can steal your identity with just one photo. My European state issued ID has data on both sides, so if someone would take a photo of it won't be enough for anything. Also if you loose it you just get a new one and noone can use the old one for anything.

Yea i remember coming across this issue on git the devs were being angry at the poor lad.

I hate to use it, but this is why I still find imgur useful. It works.

Some stuff on Lemmy just doesn’t have a robust feature set yet. Especially around content moderation.

If you upload an image from your browser, there's a little popup in the corner for a few seconds that allows you to delete it again. No such thing exists in the apps though and if you miss the popup, that's it.

You can't delete any text in comments or posts either - or at least not reliably, as any federated instance could choose to ignore deletions.

You should basically consider what you write or post here public, and probably public for good. But here's the thing - same goes for the entire rest of the Internet as well, basically.

This got me curious on how many images are on all Lemmy instances combined and how much storage it all takes up.

So what have they been doing to nuke the csam images, editing the database directly?

That is crazy. He really did seem knowledgeable, and apart from the upload of a sensitive image, he really did what he could.
