@jeffcliff@shitposter.world nope. here's an actual not paranoid legal scenario: the right gets all up an arms, like they just did about gas stoves, or trannies, and then goes to "self hosted groomer social medias" and then they trot out some of the pedo instances. then it's all over. with these laws, they can file civil suits up to $10,000 for each sign up or whatever I think, and I don't think just restricting registrations would fix it because the content is still available through the api technically. i need to look over these laws at the moment but i will most likely be shutting down misskey over the next month or so
@Mabelz multiple states already have laws banning misskey from being hosted apparently, and south carolina may come next. i may have to shut down bubbletea if this continues, but I will probably be shutting it down in the future anyways because the legal risk is still present
@mirq@tsogol.tsiran.org i highly recommend finding your local tech hubs, usually they're slack or discord groups, asking local subreddits for your local tech community and getting phone numbers and setting up multiple modes of direct communication with them. don't just join the big groups, you need to have direct communication because those are currently thinking of moving away from slack or discord also
@mirq@tsogol.tsiran.org yep all of these laws are so broad it basically makes it impossible due to threat of underagies at any time. they're weaponizing children lmfao
@phnt@pl.borked.technology i'm just thinking broadly, this will force everyone to host private intranets and then force any external social communications to go through barely visible, centralized private community models like private trackers currently do
basically just completely nuking any decentralized networks in favor of tiny, closed ones or corporations with massive legal teams
