  • Legal authorities operating in the host country will not be thrilled if you have an instance filled with csam, and all sane users will also want to be heavily distanced from it. The latter applies to any content widely deemed objectionable, not just to illegal material - which makes the motive for moderation pretty reasonable IMO. If the moderation for a instance doesn’t suit the users, users and communities are free to move to an instance that better suits them, and this does happen. It’s a strength of the fediverse.

I agree with everything you’ve said, although as a fan of Scala and in particular its asynchronous programming ecosystem (cats for me, but I’ll forgive those who prefer the walled garden of zio) I would also add that, whilst its async model with go routines is generally pretty easy to use, it can shit the bed on some highly-concurrent workloads and fail to schedule stuff in time that it really should’ve, and because it’s such a mother-knows-best language there’s fuck all you can do to give higher priority to the threads that you happen to know need more TLC
