The creator of Newgrounds has considered adding ActivityPub support to join the fediverse but is worried it would make their hosting fees untenable by “serving files to millions of people on third party apps“. Can anyone with more knowledge on how this works help them? https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1537550/3#bbspost27933331_post_text Having Newgrounds on the Fediverse would be incredible. Newgrounds has a huge art community, many features not available on any platform and has been around the longest (1999) CC @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

    Probably arrange it such that not one person/server knows what the stored bytes are. There can be a server where the bytes/blocks get reconstructed where one can check for the bad stuff.

      That doesn’t solve the cost problem. Now all the traffic is going through that intermediate server, and someone has to pay for that.

        The had moved on to legal liability for csam, not hosting costs

          Still, hosting costs were the reason for discussing legal liability. Such a server also increases centralization which isn’t ideal.
