Oh that’s from him?? Then yeah that’s what this seems like. But that’s exactly what I would do if illegal and risky shit ended up on my server. But I would post to another instance, Mastodon, or something to let users know what’s going on.
(feel bad I forgot his name and obviously can’t check now, he appears to be a great admin)
Google says pyarra but I can't find him anywhere else. I would think a comment would be good too but maybe he doesn't want to publically address it further?
Yes I believe that’s him. Yeah, he might be in cold sweat mode. I’ve been there, but not with legal issues just down servers. It sounded like he “was spoken to” by someone about the local laws. That’s gotta suck.
I'd probably close up shop entirely.
Yeah, who knows how good those admin tools are. Maybe he can nuke all content posted to and from certain instances at once?
He would need to run some SQL scripts to drop the content I think. I could be wrong though.
But as a rule, I'd defederate from ANYTHING NSFW image wise. Text NSFW is probably fine.
The liability is way to high.
If anything, given how abrupt this has been, I think either law enforcement told him to pack it in, or his ISP has cut him off
