A group of people who would all need to agree before action, a mini government of sorts, maybe elected idk but its the only way to gain a real foothold. The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.

which is the “appropriate” jurisdiction?
what if it’s not illegal in my country, but it is illegal in the country where the server is? I have no other choice of server, you’re taking away our ability to join servers in our own countries

Ideally it would be hosted in the EU and thus only things illegal there would be enforced.

Still too problematic, as what is legal and not in the EU depends on the trendy neo-nazi party du jour. Check Germany, for one, where apparently showing any disapproval of Israel gets you Gestapo’d, or that’s what Lemmy administrators in Europe seem to fear. Or Italy / Spain, where any attempt to liberate sports transmissions gets half the internet shut down.
Oh, did I even mention Turkiye?
Honestly, I’ve always been of the opinion that projects that are intended to be truly international need to build up to some sort of “all humanity” jurisdiction or international waters jurisdiction. Since it’s not like the UN is going to provide any sort of aid here.

Whose to say that’s the ideal? That sounds biased. Also the “ideal” (if there is such a thing) could change over time with global politics.
