I wouldn't blame any Lemmy admin who's facing a legitimate threat for shutting down rather than fighting it. But the thing about the fediverse is, everything we say is copied to hundreds of instances. If that one instance shuts down, it's still there to see in many, many other places.

Which will resolve itself REAL fast if lemmy ever becomes popular enough for governments to (officially) care.

  • Admin: "But Agent Bauer, I can't delete that post. It is on the dot zip instance and we are the dot world"
  • ???: "Okay. Hey, can you go pick up a car battery by next Tuesday and keep it in your apartment? No reason"
  • Admin: " Okay. We'll defederate from zip, I guess?"
  • ???: "Good. But could you get the battery anyway? And can you help by letting me know who these dot zip people are so we can contact them too?"

That said, I do think it will come to a head real fast. Which is why so many instance owners are proactively making complete bullshit "rules" (see: the world admins and how they decided to handle Luigi Mangione in the early days).
