> Server moderators should be legally responsible for content on their server.

So if you want to send someone to jail, just talk your way into joining their server, upload some illegal content, and report them for it?

> Not many moderators will have to look at CSAM because the structure of the system makes is unappealing to even try sharing CSAM, knowing you will be immediately blocked.

Why would someone join a server with active moderation if they wanted to share CSAM with their social media friends?

They would seek out one of those servers that was set up specifically for those groups, where it was known to be a safe space.

This is what many people don't get about federated networks: The people in those little servers DGAF if you block them. They want to be surrounded by their likeminded friends away from the rules of some bigger service like Facebook or Twitter. Federated social media is the perfect platform for them because they can find someone who set up a server in some other country with their own idea of rules and join that, not be subject to the regulations of mainstream social media.

right, and you have other users on fediverse that notice that server leaking, and if the content is bad enough, report the service to an authority. Having all of the pedophiles and other creeps on a tiny subset of servers, isloated islands of them; well, that ought make enforcement easier.

It also makes it relatively easy to avoid, as server admins share blocklists. I know a dozen servers offhand that i'd block if i ran another fediverse server.

Fosstodon fediverse server doesn't have this issue, for example.

I replied this way because the way you wrote it, it sounds like an indictment of a system that's designed to avoid advertisers getting user profiles, over all else.

The problem is the people who participate in this (the illegal and immoral), and not "the network."
