In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I’m aware.
I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an “illegal” talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes in any server I join?
My point is that it’s very naïve to assume that everyone in a given server knows what one person potentially posted once, especially the large servers.
Of course it’s possible they knew, but assuming by default that they had to have known is stupid.
That is kinda bullshit if they didn’t even see the content.
Just because they didn’t participate doesn’t mean they didn’t know it was there.
Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?

I don’t really know how to use Discord except by muting servers immediately after joining and probably never looking at them again
You know that some servers can have tens of thousands of people right?
What’s your point? That personal responsibly stops existing in a large group of people?
When are you turning yourself in for associating with that one pedophile by existing in the same country?

So, what you’re saying is, if someone on your Lemmy instance breaks the rules of another instance, your entire instance should be defederated, right?
Just because they’re part of the server doesn’t mean they knew it was there.
