You do if you get sued because you missed something. It’s not like lemmy world can moderate every post from every server. Any single user can get any federated community’s content pulled locally just by subscribing.
If Alice, a user of lemmy server A, subscribes to a piracy community on server B, all content of that piracy community will be pulled to, cached on, and served to Alice through their home instance, server A.
All it takes is a single user subscribing to a community from another federated server to pull that entire community’s data into their home instance. It’s bad when it’s a copyright violation risk. It’s massively scary when it could happen with something like child porn, because now whoever is running the home server is storing and distributing it unknowingly.

I reconnected with an old friend I hadn’t seen in years. He was a bit of a conspiracy nut and was telling me about a new crazy one he had just heard about. I ended up jokingly asking him if he thought vaccines caused autism too. He just kind of deflated and walked away. We haven’t spoken since. I later learned that his son had just been diagnosed as severely autistic. Oops.
Ever since I heard about Baldur’s Gate 3, my anticipation reached new heights, amplified by snagging an early access pass. With high hopes, I embarked on what I believed would be the ultimate gaming journey. Yet, as I dived in, an unexpected challenge arose....
There are a few bad rolls that can just outright kill you in this game. My entire party got blasted off a cliff because I failed a disarm trap roll. There was no “new story path” at the bottom of that cliff, let me tell you.

They are building a new religion around trump by co-opting the existing religious infrastructure. This could split the Church again.
If it didn’t have such scary societal impacts it would actually be fun watching them destroy each other. Unfortunately, their war is going to take out a lot of marginalized groups.
You tell me. This literally happened to me a few months ago. I had sound working fine. I installed updates through the built-in update system. Rebooted. No sound. 🤷♂️
Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it....
