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!

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
