It must be monitored. You need good mods and admins keeping things clean. There’s gonna be instances where someone will upload something fucked and that risk comes with hosting such a service.

I know Cloudflare has a built in CSAM scanning tool that requires registration to enable, but other than that, you’ll have to monitor your site.

Nah

You know what they say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

I’m gonna try and hold out and see what happens. Piefed did not last long, it did federate with quite a few servers, but I was mainly browsing content on my one account.

Yes, Cantaloupe877 was made on both instances, using the same domain. After moving to Lemmy, several weird things started happening like me not being able to join communities, profile pictures not loading, and my posts not showing up on lemmy. I thought I configured the server wrong so I screwed about with it to no avail, but I discovered with further testing that other servers worked fine, I could join their communities and post fine, and I realized my mistake.

The only thing that remains broken that I am aware of is my profile picture. When that’ll fix itself or if ever, no idea, but it’s working pretty well now aside from that.

Still seems odd, because this server was just made, it hasn’t been offline for an extended period of time.
