That is certainly true. My concern is if Lemmy doesn't moderate to some arbitrary standard, one post could hold the entire platform liable. Something similar is happening with grindr rn. It's a bunch of think of the children shit. Smaller platforms can be target for political among other reasons and there seems little recourse.
