Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don’t have alternatives on other instances.

Let’s discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

    The admin of the server becomes a “mere” service provider, and those that create communities are then responsible for moderation and that content being hosted there.

    Would you be able to prevent admins to interfere with moderation of the communities? Seems to be the biggest issue here

      Theoretically, any admin would still have access to the server and make changes to things.

      Practically, no. Anyone providing this service would be a hosting provider. If something bad happens at the community, they would only be able to claim it’s not their responsibility if they are able to point to the actual moderator who is liable.
