One of the things that's not really obvious about Cloud Island is that I spent a long time before I launched on legal prep (what are my risks and how do I manage them?) and financial prep (can this even pay to support itself?)

@aurynn Can you please share more? Very curious about this in consideration of launching my own fediverse server.
@aurynn @jeremiahlee I imagine considerations of different privacy laws as well - eg if you have users from the EU, you might have GDPR to think about, regardless of where the instance is actually hosted
@jeremiahlee In your jurisdiction, there's going to be laws about how copyright claims get managed, what your liabilities are for what people post on your service, what you need to do when objectionable content is reported, stuff like that.
