I just had to deal with the worst kind of report, I immediately banned the account and cleared associated media from our CDN

Ended up spending the evening working on federating account deletions to purge this from known fediverse servers (done ✅)

Now I'm working to make it easier for admins to report illegal content to the authorities

I'm making this public because @pixelfed needs your help to report sus posts and feedback on how to keep our community safe from illegal content

Admins can run `php artisan app:user-account-delete` after updating to the latest commits to deliver remote delete actor activities!

PR: github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/p

This will be automated in the near future when you delete an account, and will also handle previously deleted accounts!

@dansup @pixelfed Your hard work pays off for you. An inattentive dev might not have caught that until more serious consequences were already playing out.

@dansup @pixelfed how hard would it be to get the physical location for such an individual? Asking for a friend....

Just wanted to say kudos to you for caring enough to do this.

I used to report (what I'm guessing is) the same type of content on Twitter ... for hours (often daily). There were just so many.

It's horrific & emotionally draining. But, egads, it's necessary (crucial, really) for decent people to step in.

So, thank you.
