Hosting provider is German, server is in Lithuania, does it have to block loli content?

  • Germany allows loli content, so long as it does not “produce or reproduce an actual event.” It is illegal in Lithuania. This obviously does not say whether the content is/isn’t allowed by your server host.

    If you’re looking for a privacy/speech respecting provider you might find this article semi-useful: https://crippled.media/free-speech-vps-providers-put-to-the-test it compares 7 “Free Speech” server providers based on the content they allow and their various terms.

    I think @[email protected] wrote the article, actually.

      I did indeed write this article. I’m not sure if the monero.town people would be interested in switching. However, if you are interested in switching and have any questions let me know, we’d be happy to help and might even be able to help get you a discount depending on the provider. I’d even be willing to help pay towards your move (in Monero ofcourse.)

        Great article and thank you for the offer. Since the current hosting is on pretty fresh yearly plan we wouldn’t really want to switch providers immediately. I think we will just stay openly federated and take frequent off-site backups for now.

          Smart idea, since the hosting is anonymous (at least I’d assume) it shouldn’t be too hard to switch over if ever you needed to. Not that you should be held responsible for federated content anyway. Since it’s not on your servers, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue.

              Hosting is registered with anonaddy and paid with XMR through trocador.app :)

              Yeah, shouldn’t be a problem then! If you get any issues, moving should be pretty much without consequence.

              I am not so sure about that, if you click “expand here” I believe it saves a copy to the server and creates a link:

              That’s not how most federated software works (usually that’s an opt-in feature.) Hopefully, Lemmy makes it opt in like other federated software like Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma do.

                Yeah, Lemmy is currently improving at a rapid pace so this shouldn’t take too long. The upgrade from v18.0 to .1 has massively increased performance and bandwidth efficiency!
