I'm just playing around with the thought of it at the moment, so don't anybody get their hopes up, but here are ~~a question~~ three questions.
I have 1Gbps bandwidth and about 4TB of storage to contribute with.
If you're otherwise tech savvy, the legal ramifications (and preventing them) are probably the biggest headache. It depends on where you are, but where I'm at, the owner of the server is responsible for everything on it.
There likely are tools which scan for naughty stuff and remove it, then IP-ban the uploader, but I don't know the specifics.
Right, I was afraid of that. Also, while maybe it's the only feasible option for a hobby/volunteer project, automoderation has often ruined the fun of some subs over at Reddit when I was still using it.
It's in a different category than an automod bot IMO. It would basically be looking for the worst-of-the-worst highly illegal "you know it when you see it" type content and making sure it never reaches your storage or the instance. There would of course be the occasional false positives and things that slip through, which would have to be reported and dealt with on a case by case basis. That is just one way to do it though.
Thanks for the input! :) I'm starting to really appreciate (more than otherwise) those that do contribute with hardware and instance hosting.
Regarding question one, lemmynsfw had at least one meme community.
Hmm... Interesting! But then, what if there is a matter/post that needs immediate attention (CSAM, revenge porn, what have you...) and action or else the owner of the server faces legal actions? If I'm away at work or whatever, can't that be tricky?
Yeah I can't say. Lemmynsfw didn't have a bot but you could have a bot that removes anything with that kind of flag until a human reviews it.
