    Then again most nations aren’t federated, as such don’t have feds, so you should be able to figure that out but ;-) I’m fairly certain the legal ramifications are the same whether It’s GNU Social or Kbin. Sure platforms like Mastodon & Friendica give you more options for “defederating” “bad actors” than Pleroma or a NOSTR relay, but even that only does so much.

I’ve been considering self-hosting for over a year now, but I’m still concerned if the feds will come knocking at my door for something someone else does.

For example, if someone on my server follows an individual or community and they posts something illegal (i.e. unauthorized sexually exploitive images) that content could be stored on my server. Wouldn’t’ I be legally liable for such?

I mean #fucklaws and everything, but I don’t want to end up in a cage and certainly not for something someone else did.
