Hi everyone,

I’ve been wondering about legal implications of self-hosting Lemmy. Isn’t it universally required in many countries to moderate the content that you host publicly? What happens when someone posts something illegal on your instance and you don’t won’t to bother with being a mod and just enjoy the technical aspects of it?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

    That deals with pretty much all your legal issues.

    Does it, though? Isn’t it possible that I’m federating with an instance that fails to moderate, and as a result I end up with CSAM on my instance?
