I Hope Rexxitors Tone Down the Low-Hanging Comment Chains on Lemmy. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

I think that stuff like that developed when the userbase was pretty young. Don't think something like that will happen again.

At least I hope not...

It’s a free society here, if Lemmy really takes off its most likely going to happen and you’re free to partake in the joke or not.

Lemmy is here to serve all, I imagine some hard boundaries around illegal content will be put in place though.

De-federation can happen for that sort of scenario

Well I'm certainly not above low effort shitposting.

That legal/illegal thing is going to be tricky to figure out. What's illegal exactly in a global federated social network? Whose law applies?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The instance's hosting country's law applies to the instance and the communities it hosts.

Displaying illegal content from the fediverse is fine?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Its a bit complicated. EFF has a good post from a US perspective https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer . My understanding for US instances (and IANAL), is that if you have a TOS banning illegal content, register for a DMCA agent, and remove illegal content in a reasonably fast timeframe when you have knowledge of it, and ban repeat offenders, you should be okay.
