I’ve been considering self-hosting for over a year now, but I’m still concerned if the feds will come knocking at my door for something someone else does.
For example, if someone on my server follows an individual or community and they posts something illegal (i.e. unauthorized sexually exploitive images) that content could be stored on my server. Wouldn’t’ I be legally liable for such?
I mean #fucklaws and everything, but I don’t want to end up in a cage and certainly not for something someone else did.
IIRC Lemmy preloads all thumbnails for posts in communities you subscribe to into pictrs to be cached for like a month or something. So, yeah…
