    But it is hosted on your home server.

    When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.

    This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.

      It’s a good thing that community doesn’t host anything illegal then. The argument doesn’t make sense because the community isn’t spreading copyrighted content.

      It’s like banning true crime communities because they discuss illegal things (gratuitous killing is pretty illegal in pretty much 99.9% of all cultures around the world - possibly 100%).
