If you host an instance and allow people to sign up and post, what is preventing bad actors from filling your storage with cp and other illegal shit?

Are you just signed up for permanent content moderation assisted by some tooling?

That liability sounds absolutely terrifying to me…

I've asked a similar question to the self-hosting community. The gist of it is: if you're planning on self-hosting to try something new, just create an instance and lock the signups. Legal ramifications for hosting an instance without moderation are very real and depend on your local law.
