If it comes to Lemmy, I quit. I'll go touch grass all day, I don't mind.

I will move to freenet, i2p and tor

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Tor was a U.S. government supported service and guess who pulled the plug on it.

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

Really? I haven't really used Tor but I can't find anything about that. What happened?

[-] nyan@lemmy.cafe 13 points 5 days ago

Current US administration stopped funding it as part of their slide towards corporate-driven dystopia, I believe. Tor itself is still out there, just a little more strapped for cash than it used to be.

Using it from time to time and hosting a relay. Works and has been improving over the years imo

The Naval Research Laboratory invented onion routing and open sourced the code.

I don't see how anybody could come for lemmy. I feel this just attacks centralized services

If they threaten server admins with legal action based on the global user count of lemmy rather than their local server user count I'm sure plenty of owners will fold.

Lemmy is probably not complying with UK law already. But if hosted outside the UK you can just ignore them.

Some instances have blocked the UK but you can also just ignore it because wtf are they going to do
