I considered it, but then there was the big child porn incident. I don’t want to be liable for hosting child porn if someone posts it somewhere and it federates over. If there was a way to do text only I would consider it again.
I forgot what the solution was, but it’s not a risk I want to take - and I do host many services myself.
I mean, one solution would be to not allow photos on that instance. Just spitballing, because I can’t think of an efficient and ethical way to go about screening image uploads, that doesn’t involve some sacrificial moderator being waterboarded by human perversion.
Maybe, using AI? Can a locally hosted AI instance scan images? I might host a lemmy instance in the future, because I want to support the cause, but yeah, I ain’t going to jail for it.
What does that mean? If you’re not proxying images, do you have access to images but you have to fetch them from the host instance or do you not have images at all?
The one you host yourself.

One of the reasons I’m not proxying images.
The other being that it takes too much storage.

They are fetched from the host instance.
