Or maybe not. …
Around here, OP would then automatically be a suspect for possession of the material. Possession is a crime. And that is far from funny. Better have a very good lawyer from minute 1.
if the cops are feeling extra “fun”, it’s possession and distribution, since OP operated a server that served CSAM between users. Lawyer up before telling the police “i unknowingly distributed incredibly illegal material from a server I own, here it is”
Legally, the platform isn’t liable for what the users do on it. But I wouldn’t want to test that in court.
That doesn’t count for this kind of crime.
It’s not even certain whether or not it applies at all for fediverse systems.
