Is this boost? Upvotes are working for me

No I’m not sure why that would be happening

It seems like you were unable to upload pictures, that’s a separate issue that I wasn’t aware of, sorry about that, you should be able to upload images now

not at the current time, I will update the post when there is an update

the images are working, old images are just missing right now

Yes unfortunately our Cloudflare has been locked in some way, meaning we are unable to make payments on it. Our b2 bucket (which is where all the photos for the site were stored) was hosted on cloudflare and is now locked behind a paywall that we cannot pay for some reason. We have contacted cloudflare support to try and get access again.

In the meantime even when it gets fixed we are NOT going back to cloudflare’s B2 bucket service, so we made another b2 bucket with a separate service and we’re waiting for access to the old one so that we can transfer all the existing data into the new bucket.

We’re doing everything we can to try and get access to the old storage, but we haven’t heard back from cloudflare yet. As for now, the new service allows us to backup our data so even if something were to happen to our photo storage again, we won’t lose our photos in this way again.

Sorry for the inconvenience, this was really unexpected and frustrating for us aswell

If you edit old pics and change something small it will allow you to upload it, it’s trying to find the cached version of that picture that you’ve uploaded, but because we moved storage systems, that image doesn’t exist. We’re going to restore old images as soon as we can, but cloudflare has been giving us trouble still. We currently are still waiting to hear from cloudflare support about removing the lock on our account. Once that’s resolved we will be able to copy everything in the old b2 bucket into the new one

Thanks for the info, we’re switching S3 bucket providers, hopefully today, so hopefully that resolves the issues

Locally uploaded images work, you can still post

That is not the issue, we are having issues with our cloudflare account and our S3 bucket, we are in contact with support and working on a fix. You are making wild assumptions.

Hopefully sometime today

I thought we fixed this glitch, sorry about that, I’ll look into it, if you got to one of our alternate uis you can also bypass that screen

I’m sad to see you go! if there is anything we can do to change your mind please dm me on her or on matrix

Removed because this is not a porn community

I won’t comment on any of that aside from saying that I don’t fully agree with all of their actions, but lemmy is free and open source, meaning lemmy being funded benefits everyone who uses it, and anyone who will ever use it.

Test

This was 4 months ago, it was pinned

This is a photo hosting site, that you don’t even need to stop using yourself. If you’d like to view motherless, you can. Hell, if you find something that’s not CP you could upload it on another site if you really wanted.

This is such a weird hill to die on. You’re defending a site known to have CP, that’s very weird.

Reddit and 4chan banned motherless years ago. Like before one of the cofounders sadly offed himself. Your argument is reddit and 4chan hosted questionable material and they banned the site. Wouldn’t that mean, by your logic, that we would also want to ban it because if we’re supposed to be better than them, then we would want to ban something they deemed as worse than them.

Also, if there was a direct link to someone’s social media with personal identifying information that was not consensual it would get removed. So yes Facebook and places are not 100% in the clear either. Even so motherless is unique because it’s still very unmoderated in comparison to the others.

None of this is going to change my stance on this. This doesn’t effect the functionality of the site, this doesn’t make it harder to post, and it’s inherently a less safe site than many others. We have to make sure our site is not taken down.

1. 4chan and reddit would not ban the site on baseless allegations
2. It’s explicitly listed in the Office of Justice’s docs about sites known to be used to distribute csam.

It’s the only “smaller site” that is outright listed. From what I understand it was a much bigger issue on the site in the early internet days but I’m not taking any chances.

They are also notorious for hosting revenge porn, which we also do not allow.
