MODERATORS
Keep in mind your instance will cache thumbnails of remote content... including possibly illegal content for your area.
For example there's (far too) many instances that host or are themed around "lolicon" - which is cartoon child pornography. That's illegal in some jurisdictions.
Also remember federation is a two way street. The people you're going to attract with this concept are largely the same groups many instances are trying to keep out. If you get even a little popularity I would expect many mainstream instances to defederate you. Then you're basically back where you started - what's the point?
Im aware that my server may cache illegal content. However this is usually easily delt with. It can simply be removed/user banned and can be purged from the server. This can all be done from the admin settings.
I also dont see the main instances defederating us. Our server will be moderated just as any other main lemmy server would. Just setting it up so that the users from our server can intract with any other server they wish. Any content or anyone who breaks our rules will be removed/banned. Just because we have an open federation policy does not mean there will be a lack of moderation.
