      legal liability

      You register at the DMCA website and respond timely to DMCA requests, while doing a decent enough job moderating.

      That’s literally it.

      You can criticize actions without being in the same exact position. Your argument is like saying “if you dont own your own social network you can criticize twitter/facebook/reddit”

      I’m deathly afraid of the second part of that, I don’t want to deal with the wrong thing being posted by someone else on my server. :(

      Oh do I have to explain the meme? 🤦‍♂️

      spoiler

      lemmy.world has been down very frequently, possibly due to DDoS attacks, and when a site that’s using Cloudflare is down, it displays a code 522 (sometimes it’s a 502, 503 or some variation).

      Yesterday, (or the day before, honestly can’t remember) lemmy.world blocked piracy communities at the request of one user (who appears to be some far-right asshole), so many pirates are going to be cheering at lemmy.world’s frequent downtime.

      Reminder: Although copyright infringement is unlawful in many countries, discussion of copyright infringement is usually considered protected free speech in many countries, so piracy communities are technically legal, as long as they don’t link directly to piracy content.
