Hello, I want to self host an instance so I’m only beholden to myself and the military forces that watch all. I only have one rule, and don’t care much for moat things, but I’d like to create safe and friendly place for people like me

“Less” is still not “gone” unfortunately. You do still have to be very vigilant because federation from unknown instances intentionally spreading that stuff can and will end up getting garbage on to your server’s hard drive that you might not even notice.
This would be my concern.
As I understand it lemmy caches data from other instances you/your users utilize as part of federation which means it requires a fair bit of storage to operate and potentially sketchy data could be synced onto your hardware completely unbeknownst to you.
And afaik you are still legally liable for it
