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!

    Interesting, I wonder how does decentralized nature of fetching data from other instances affect this. Thanks for providing the reference! Will look into it.
