    If you are hosting a discussion forum on a server that you are responsible for, does that automatically make you responsible for the content that people post on it? Even an instance the size of dbzer0 is impossible for a single person to moderate all of the content from the many communities that are federated with it. Impossible.

    That’s like saying the admin of lemmy.world holds all of the wild political opinions that are posted on there.

      When feds come a knockin’? Fuck yeah it does mean you’re responsible for them, yeah man. Lmao. We just had our server admin purge some pervert agenda pusher. Because first off thats fucked up and next it could have the server seized.

      Some dusty law enforcement won’t care if its just one bad apple. Especially if they get whiff that its a “community”.

        It doesn’t make a great deal of sense to me tbh. If you are harboring communities of sexual abusers or something, sure.

        Here’s another example: I have some pretty fucked up fiction books in my house. Am I responsible for what the author says? It’s the same damn thing. Words written by a person who is not me, that are in my house.
