Interesting, that's my hope re: 230 but I'm not 100% sure.

> One nice feature of Mastodon in particular is that you can configure it not to cache content from specific servers. I use that to avoid hosting images from particular servers that specialize in stuff with a high "ick factor". If a use really wants to follow users on those servers, they can, but then that server is the one serving images to my user, not me. I like that setup.

I wasn't aware of this feature; can you point me to a source for how to set that up?




Preferences > Moderation > Federation > search for the instance you want to limit > Add new domain block.

Now set Severity: None, click Reject media files, then Create block. There - now you're not disconnected from them at all, but neither are you hosting their media.


Thank you!
