If you host an instance and allow people to sign up and post, what is preventing bad actors from filling your storage with cp and other illegal shit?

Are you just signed up for permanent content moderation assisted by some tooling?

That liability sounds absolutely terrifying to me…

    Yes. You’re signing up to be a moderator.

    The liability issue is addressed somewhat through the DMCA safe harbor law. But it’s probably not a lawsuit you want.
