 π§ Behind the Pixels Curious about how we keep your media safe & organized on Pixelfed? It's all thanks to a clever combo of profile IDs & random hashes β think of it like a secret code for your pics & vids! This not only protects your stuff but also makes it super easy to manage. For Stories, we even rotate media urls periodically! 4 comments
@dansup safety should come from access control rather than randomness. Unpredictability isnβt access control because like unlisted YouTube videos, once you know the random URL, you would be able to view it. The topic of file safety is incomplete without mentioning access control  @dansup https://uuid7.com/ includes the year/month so you could just drop that whole folder. |

This means admins can easily mass delete media by profile ids, locally or on S3
