I plan to have people type an application to register but will deny creeps and obviously bots. What would be the best questions to ask/way to tell that someone is a creep with ill intentions?

I have some ideas, but I’m looking for more, actual ideas from the Lemmy community. Ex: (if I make it a 13+ instance) What age range do you plan on interacting with? What do you plan on talking about with these people? What do you plan to do here?

Make it invite only.

More importantly, be very careful and super picky about what instances you federate with. If you're federated with an instance that has CSAM uploaded to it, you're now hosting CSAM on your server.

What does that abbreviation mean? Never seen it before.

Ah yikes, yeah that must be defederated. Thanks for the clarification

Not only is it gross, it's also enough to jail you since you technically store and distribute these materials.

Laws didn't really update for the Fediverse.

Isn't there a way to prevent cross federated caching though? I thought something along those lines was implemented specifically to combat that problem.

Not sure if it's available in Lemmy. Devs and admins can probably say more
