no see. i recognize that i can’t do it because i can’t afford what would be required to do it. this doesn’t mean i won’t donate to a service i feel needs help. just that i won’t do it alone. a co-op lemmy instance is… very much not the same as a capitalist corporation run by a trillionaire.
fair point and i’m not holding firm to imperfect ideas. also, here’s the thing: i think “if you host it you are responsible.” even if it’s a small lemmy instance or x.
because, small hosts will get swatted and shot. large corp hosts have lawyers. so … they must all be responsible for what they host if that level of gap exists. i remember hosting in the 90’s, and even my own crap was stupid - just a db of payphone numbers, stuff like that for phreaks. i wasn’t stileproject lol. but … if a used posted shit, it was still on my server. (a beefy! 486 dx/2!)
i mean sure, maybe we could claim “if you are a corp, then responsible, if you are a non profit or self hosted then no…” but the thing abt the net is - any hole, anywhere, eventually gets filled with csam and horseshit. it fucking sucks. but it’s true.
if corps were held accountable for that which they allow, the massive bulk of the problems would disappear, just from a ratio pov, no? ignoring the other problem that musk wants to be allowed to host csam because he profits from it and is a pedo as well.

This new law ups what is required, to the point where I don’t think any Lemmy instances would be able to meet it.
I don’t think the law was written so it differentiates between X and Lemmy, though I might be mistaken.
