A good article by one of the co-founders of dreamwidth.org regarding potential liability pitfalls for Mastodon admins, covering topics like DMCA, COPPA, CSM, GDPR, CalOPPA, etc. (you get the idea).
There are a lot of people trying to do right by others, including our own @n6mts, and bearing these things in mind is important.

If in the US, I would recommend that each server has a DMCA Designated Agent registered with the US Copyright office. DMCA has a safe harbor provision which protects site owners from copyright liability if a user posts something infringing. But you need a designated agent to get that protection. Costs $6 every few years.
