@lucy @sally @7666 @meso @sun this being either a massive hassle or involving sending every uploaded file to some third party and dealing with the legal ramifications of that (at least: GDPR, as well as then having to disclose my irl address due to german telecommunications laws) is why i decided against it for 0x0.st

simply blocking anonymizing networks and cloud/vps hosters, plus a generic neural network detector for adult content to aid moderation, so far has been enough.

hetzner apparently deems the measures i have in place sufficient, and law enforcement is happy as long as i comply with their requests, which are super rare and so far were simple takedowns that didn’t involve disclosure of user data (for which there are significant legal hurdles in this case).

i can see why a fedi instance might want to allow tor etc., but doing so without having at least a user vetting process is a very dumb idea imo
