Comment on Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own community

This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.
How does removing images change anything? Any file can be transmitted by text, as we used to do with e-mail, and you don’t need to use images to make illegal or just intentionally offensive content.

Something tells me the "I don't host CSAM I just host posts that embed CSAM (from other hosts)" argument won't hold up in court.

Doesn’t it tho? That was part of the issue with Lemmy federating suspected csam content as the actual content ended up on their servers.

Lemmy has moderators and admins which remove CSAM. Plebbit was intentionally built in such a way that no one can remove anything. Extensive discussion of this at the OP's original post https://lemmy.world/post/23704373. Ctrl-F for "censorship"

Kinda missing the point, the fact it got posted at all on lemmy necessarily means it was potentially federated and hosted on various servers, hence opening them up to legal troubles even if moderation is done.

They have a concept of moderators, which are chosen by community owners and have the power to remove content within the communities they moderate.
At least that’s what the whitepaper says, I don’t know what the actual implementation does.
