I'm not 100% sure on how Lemmy works with federation, but isnt there a risk of illegal content being mirrored to your instance if someone here hits a post from the bad server too ?

Medias are only hosted by the instance from which the poster is, specifically for this reason. So if someone spreads CSAM on another instance into yours, the only mirrored content is textual but not the offending material
Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification. As i say wasnt sure, but thought worth mentioning in case.
Remote instances do mirror thumbnails.
Oh wow. Those folks are off the rails... read some discussions over there to see what it's all about... oooooh boy!
Yeah it’s probably a good idea to decouple from that car.

Their site doesn’t even load. (At least not now)
Probably took it down temporarily. Those types of instances don't like being exposed.
This creates a question. Not this specific content, but on the political side of the content. It may be illegal in US, but legal in Russia and vice versa.
How does fediverse address this?
it varies by jurisdiction, but a server hosted in the US would be obligated to avoid serving illegal content whether it was sent from another server, uploaded by the server owner, or posted by a user of the site, which I believe creates an obligation to defed from CP instances.
What is a CP instance?
An instance that hosts
CW sv mention
CP(child pornography).
I think this server should follow Estonia law
i think this server should follow Mazovian law
Not relying on legalistic justifications, for one. Legality is a constraint of whoever the host would be arrested by. It's not a substitute for having your own standards. You shouldn't need a legal justification to ban pedos or nazis, no matter where you live. We can't stop them from making their own online spaces, but we are not obligated to share our spaces with them.
Do you have an example of CSAM being posted there?
Just mentioning paraphilias in the description is a bit light, especially with the rest of it being pretty tame and inclusive...
They could probably be talking about legal paraphilias like cars and tentacle monsters
Edit: ah nevermind they host a lot of kid stuff
Their biggest communities are those devoted to pedo shit. We can safely write this instance off.
