   Last Week in Fediverse – episode 33

   #Lemmy has experienced CSAM attacks in the last week, with the material posted on multiple communities for people to see. Due to how federation works on Lemmy, this meant that the images also got send over and stored in the databases of other Lemmy servers. This poses questions and challenges for the admins, among others on how to make sure they are legally compliant.

     @fediversereport Another thing to bear in mind is that (unlike Mastodon) there is no requirement to have more than one admin. Some reasonably popular instances have a single admin and some of those seem to have gone missing.

     What will happen is anyone’s guess, presumably when the hosting isn’t paid they’ll just stop without warning. If they don’t get into legal trouble for not keeping their house in gear.
