    Lemmy will be pressured into age verification also and most hosts will crumble. $50M per caught infraction is wild.

    We gonna end up going back to libraries. Which actually would be cool as fuck. Like Yentl when all those dudes are hanging out in a big ass room talking philosophy. It’ll re-spark the postal service. Live music will thrive. Coz everyone will be like fuck the internet, we’ll do it live.

        ah ha! Guess that’s how we beat the system. People would need to sub to your instance though for you to post content right?

        What would the pros and cons be?

          I think there is some way to automatically forward your content but I don’t self host and am not an expert.

          Pros are that while you could be “defederated”, you can’t be banned. You make any decisions and could also let others use your system.

      Many fediverse hosts will make an effort to stay open by shifting their servers to countries that are out of reach of verification and law enforcement but that will only last so long.
