Monero.town is very lax when it comes to moderation as long as you don't say anything that could get you arrested in Germany.
What if I am in the US lol
If its a german instance they have to follow german law.
Just like if you’re an american living in germany. You don’t get to follow american law in germany. You have to abide by the local laws.
Take for example, the irish hosted lemmy defederated from another instance that allows posting … questionable/underage anime content. Its treated the same as CSAM under Irish law. Federating those instances would mean the admins of the irish instance would be liable for any data pulled over onto their instance.
This issue should be solved if you could just set lemmy to not cache federated NSFW images (without fully disabling NSFW on your instance) since then users would load the images from the remote server and not the homeserver.
But that also relies on posts being tagged correctly
True, guess not caching remote content at all should be an option as well. Then you can just block caching for every instance that doesn't enforce proper tagging.
so.. defederating. like is already happening
No, defederating would block all flow between instances. The problem is with hosting content that you don't want to or arent allowed to host. Currently if I view a image from burggit, the image gets saved to the monero.town and then served whenever someone else views it from there, which is a problem. If instead every time someone wants to view that image, it gets pulled from burggit again, monero.town isn't in trouble for hosting it anymore.
