Hey, sorry to hear about the stress, trust me when I say that I completely understand.
Maybe this won’t change anything for you, but just in case, I would like to point out that there is a new feature recently implemented in Lemmy, which will allow instance admins to control how federated images are handled. AFAIK, this feature should be included in the next upcoming release of Lemmy.
(The new feature is a configration option called image_mode, and it will allow you to either keep storing federated images as before, OR just proxy federated images through your servers without permanently storing them, OR not pass federated images through your servers at all)

First, thank you for your work for helping tackle a number of the federation issues (and other bugs!) in Lemmy! If anything, I’m more concerned about the broader Fediverse where there are people who think spreading CSAM is okay.
I’m actually really happy to see that the
image_modelets you disable federated images, that should be a big relief to instances with fewer resources to deal with.
