    Which puts fuckheads like me in a tough spot, since I want a classic “old internet” (read as: 4chan culture of shitheadery) feel to the place, but also don’t want to infringe on people like you’s ability to enjoy a relatively clean internet space.

    Given everything, I think having “clean” servers that defederate from toxic ones is probably the way to go just to ensure new users can have a generally good time. Then let more advanced users (like me) go find the “never defederate” instances to sign up to get that old timely feel.

    So…uh, yeah TL;DR: I think I’m on the other guy’s side, but also think you have the right of it.

      You can host your own (single user) instance, which IMO is the best option with your particular mindset.

        Yeah, the real issue is that I’m too cheap to pay for a domain name / setting up a server, though it is a goal once some other life things straightened out for me.

      Hey man, if you or your instance wants to take a dive into the deep end, I don’t mean to stop any of you. I would just prefer the parts of the Fediverse I deal with to be clean of pigs shitting on their balls and the people who spread it.

      No one is stopping you from standing up your own instance and quickly learning how legally exposed you are the moment you run a forum the way you’re advocating for.

        legally exposed

        What do you mean by that? Is that to say that I might be held responsible if my instance picked some other instance that was hosting illegal content as though I were a “redistributor” or something?

          All I’m saying is ask yourself why all the news communities here have had to crack down on folks copy-pasting articles wholesale.

          What are you going to do when people flood your instance with CSAM? Are you going to personally watch every post on every community?

          This stuff is a minefield man. And if you’re hosting it, you can bet your ass you’re the first call on the FBI’s (or your nation’s equivalent) list.
