Definitely. I think regardless of who the torch passes to, there will be a need to work with others to do this. there arent easy anwsers to many of these questions.

My bigger concern with self hosted solutions is that it gives us a single point of failure for things like natural disasters/power.
the 2.5 gigabit should be enough for now, I think hetzner caps out at 10 gig uplinks, and assuming they didnt upgrade from their standard dedicated machines, they would have a 2 gig uplink now
if i were to self host it i have access to a 2.5 up and down link, and i already have experience setting up self hosted content This would limit scalability in the future ( although to what degree is questionable)
I was wondering about the "ensuring content is actually deleted" bit, as right now theres a bug causing deleted posts to show for people. That definitly will need to be resolved in terms of auto purging, we would have to look into it, but i would prefer an alternative solution or a higher bar than just certain types of reports ( like suspending the content until reviewed, or autopurging only on a higher number of reports) that way someone cant just take down comunities by reporting everything.
Yaeh, we would definitly need to migrate then. just becouse they havnet enforced it yet doesnt mean they wont. We could also look at alibaba cloud, which is what reddit uses currently. although then we would have to deal with that whole mess
honestly i had never looked at Hetzner before, and wow looking through its pricing its quite attractive (expecially in regards to network traffic) theres a very good chance i would stick with hetzner.
It would take me a bit to do more thorough research on what is currently being used, and the issues that people have run into there. But i would be looking at primarily AWS, or Azure. Are you guys self hosting or using a hosting provider already ? Also depending on the current network traffic expectations its possible it could be self hosted (although again this would highly depend on what the current situation is and is very unlikely)
I am in canada, which has no laws preventing the hosting of gore content, They do (obviously) require we prevent CP both real and animated.
Yes I'm sure and i know that's going to be difficult. Illegal content needs to be prevented on the site. Currently my understandings are that the tools available through Lemmy are slim, and much will start out as a manual process, and pressuring/ ensuring mods are active in patrolling their own communities to the greatest degree possible. However I understand that the buck would stop with me, not with the mods at the end of the day. Shit rolls uphill and if communities are unsafe that would be a failure on whoever hosts this for not providing support to mods, or for allowing unsafe communities to propagate.
I also understand that realistically its going to be a job where you get alot of hate for just about all your decisions :/
I would be able to,i would need information on what it is currently hosted on and access info, but i should otherwise be able to transfer it without issue.
Im a software engineer with a very stable job with flexible hours, and ive been looking for a long term project to get into. if it were transferred to me i could ensure a stable long term home for it. Edit:changing to=>for

yaeh and they can do that but they will lose users. im not saying they should have to host things they dont want. I'm saying if they want a popular NSFW lemmy instance then banning random communities they dislike is a bad idea.
