Interesting, I know personally one of my concerns with self-hosting an individual Lemmy instance (after losing my first account to the Vlemmy.net shutdown) was the threat of being held legally responsible for things cached on the server. Say someone uploads something illegal and my server caches it. Seeing it as an option to turn that off is nice, and for an instance only meant to be used by one person I'd imagine caching won't have a huge impact on load times
Designate your DMCA contact, pay your $6, set up a clear infringement policy, and rest easy. Full details in this EFF Fediverse Legal Primer.
Is there a general infringement policy that can be copy pasted so people don’t have to figure out the legalese to write out?
