As a regular of the old-internet, including hellsites such as VampireFreaks dot com, I promise it takes more than that for the government to care.

I don’t think that will save it. I’m barely profitable and cops still give me tickets. Times are changing. Governments are coming down hard on the Internet. OSA in the UK forced Urban Dead to shut down. I would have to think admins running instances are feeling a little nervous.
How does the Fediverse do it better and would that appease the jury in a civil or criminal trial? Those are questions to consider. Perhaps it’s all good. I certainly hope so.

Seems like half the problem here is how Suckerberg has handled it, rather than what happened…or have I got that wrong?
