You have to police illegal content even if it’s just links. That’s why torrent sites get shut down constantly.

Curating and sharing links is the same as hosting. And I’m quite happy to be on a platform which doesn’t share or host this content.

Nope. No one has to or is policing the links people chat about on IRC. Why? Because the server isn't saving state and hosting it. It's all in people's clients. It cuts the gordian knot of content moderation.
