Note that if you use Primal media storage, your images could get overwritten at any time with completely random stuff. Many people have had this happen

"random stuff"

e.g. if I stop being primal premiun... not store anything else there, randomly now maybe someone will re use the same url for their image and it will show in my note?👀🤔

Don't you believe in recycling? ♻️

I hate that they switch out my media with their own copies, in my notes.

I've seen a few complaints about people's pictures being replaced with other people's pictures. I'm not technical enough to understand how that even happens, so it definitely weirds me out a bit lol

Happened to me today too 😁

Thanks for the report. We found the issue and have since fixed it. This shouldn’t happen anymore, but please reach out to me if it does happen again.

Interesting, does anyone know why this happens? Is it a bug or are they just clearing storage and recycling URIs? Doesn't make any sense.

Thanks for the question, this was a bug introduced when we started filtering out csam content for legal reasons. This has since been fixed, but please let me know if you run into this again.

It was caused by their media URLs being 4-letter IDs (16 million max limit) and therefore vulnerable to duplication

I think they also have media IDs generated sequentially and that counter may have gotten out of sync a few times

Only 4 letters... What could go wrong

There was an issue with uploading media using our uploading service, but this issue has since been fixed. Thanks for the report. Please reach out to me if you run into an issue like this again.
