Okey, so what is conclusion of your point? You can sue any instance for anything, so what should instance owners do? Sounds like "not having an instance" is the only right answer to your logic.
Seriously, let's just sue lemmy.world because lemmy.dbzer0.com talks about piracy.
Your confusion about the litigous nature of the US is naive, and your gotcha is dumb and immature. Yes, you can sue for anything. No, that doesn't mean instance owners should quake in their boots, but CSAM, and copyright issues are the quickest way to end up in a legally dubious place where the laws don't matter morals are made up. People have been on the hook for the retail price of every single viewer of an illegal stream, into millions and millions of dollars.
The "this is stupid why won't people take life-ending risks so I can talk about piracy when I could easily make my own instance, take the risk myself, and talk about piracy."
I mean slap suits are a thing. Even if they don't have merit they can burn your cash.
