I thought it was obvious sarcasm, but oh well

Keep using Windows!

I’m not really sure about that. I’m not saying it as an expert or anything, but that’s a discussion I saw around here the other day.

Basically, once you federate and copy the content to your instance, it is in your server and you are responsible for it.

I’ll agree with a few things, tho:

It barely happens today, on centralized platforms. They’re hardly obliged to remove content because some judge says so (it does happen, tho, at least in my country)

I’d imagine it would be a bit of a grey area legally, right now. We would need legislation regarding the fediverse. Imagine someone posts child porn in an instance yours is federated to. Your instance copies the content. You notice and defederated the whole instance, but don’t remove the content. The dude is banned by his home instance and his post is removed. But his copy still exists in yours, since you defederated before his ban and content removal.

Just saying that selfhosting brings a lot of things that need to come to your attention.

You also should be concerned about other people’s data on your instance tho

We were there boys!

That’s great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.

I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.
