Lemmy will likely have its own "the narwhal bacons at midnight" phase.
It'll interesting to see what it is...and then almost immediately tiresome.
I think that stuff like that developed when the userbase was pretty young. Don't think something like that will happen again.
At least I hope not...
It’s a free society here, if Lemmy really takes off its most likely going to happen and you’re free to partake in the joke or not.
Lemmy is here to serve all, I imagine some hard boundaries around illegal content will be put in place though.
De-federation can happen for that sort of scenario
Well I'm certainly not above low effort shitposting.
That legal/illegal thing is going to be tricky to figure out. What's illegal exactly in a global federated social network? Whose law applies?
The instance's hosting country's law applies to the instance and the communities it hosts.
Displaying illegal content from the fediverse is fine?
Its a bit complicated. EFF has a good post from a US perspective https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer . My understanding for US instances (and IANAL), is that if you have a TOS banning illegal content, register for a DMCA agent, and remove illegal content in a reasonably fast timeframe when you have knowledge of it, and ban repeat offenders, you should be okay.
