MODERATORS
Not exactly 100% versed in the matter but I did some fair digging before starting my own instance: In Germany as long as you remove illegal content in a timely manner after being made aware of its existence you should be perfectly fine. That does include making sure the content does not pop up again but imo the entire thing is set up in a way where if you have adequate moderation (which you should anyway) there shouldn't be anything to worry about legally speaking.
Case in point: feddit.de has not blocked the piracy community (yet)
Yeah. Like I said, i have no idea what the conditions are. Maybe its Cloudflare threatening/applying pressure and LW has been getting smacked with DDOS etc.
But maybe not too. I strikes me as a excuse but honestly i dont know all the details or variable and frankly i dont care all that much.
