Has anyone considered that if Congress repeals section 230 that mastodon almost certainly dies? If every person who runs a server is legally liable for what people post (or even what gets reposted automatically) then there will be no servers. Or maybe one big one with a subscription, but that’s it. Shared internet doesn’t work when you’re liable for everyone else’s behavior.
