Huh?
When you host your own Lemmy instance that means every server you federate with is going to copy its data including images to your server. That means that if you federate with someone who is poorly moderated, you can end up hosting CSAM yourself. You need to be prepared to deal with that problem.
That sounds insanely worrisome… would I good work around be to stop image caching?
