If you host an instance and allow people to sign up and post, what is preventing bad actors from filling your storage with cp and other illegal shit?

Are you just signed up for permanent content moderation assisted by some tooling?

That liability sounds absolutely terrifying to me…

    This is a pretty huge concern with distributed hosting, I hope there are some safety measures on all instances

      @iByteABit

      Even if you went nuclear and flagged all posts etc. for manual approval by a mod, the offending data still resides on your infrastructure.

      Will be following this closely, it’s a very interesting problem!

        And if I’m not mistaken it will also still be viewable in the modlog?
