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!

    Not only close sign-ups but turn off federation as text content from other servers are pulled to your own afaik.

    Imagine if someone wrote something illegal, i.e. calling for or threatening violence in a comment in a sublemmy you were subscribed to?
