Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If you're in the US, The Communications Decency Act Section 230 has a couple powers.
It removes liability to service providers for user generated content when active moderation is practiced, and
It removes liability to service providers for any moderation actions taken to to moderate to reasonable community standards.
Prior to CDA230, the jurisprudence centered around 2 different cases. In one, an actively moderated system had illegal content and didn't remove it in time, and in another case, a non-actively moderated system had illegal content and didn't remove it in time. At that time, the actively moderated system was held to be liable for the illegal content, whereas the non-actively moderated system was held not to be liable for not removing the illegal content.
One caveat to that would be the DMCA, where liability protection as a service provider I think is contingent on there being a DMCA process available so infringing content can be removed.
I don't know enough about how that all works with the fediverse, however.
The fediverse is still a relatively small thing, even with all the popularity it’s been getting.
So dmcas are yet to happen
