Is the Fediverse KYC'd in the UK with the new law? (lemmy.ml)

Are services like Lemmy, Mastodon or PeerTube KYC'd in the UK?

Sorry to be a doomer, but if so, then the Fediverse has failed and we should just move on with a decentralized web that uses decentralized backends: Nostr, Odysee/LBRY, etc.

Maybe the threat model of the Fediverse was incomplete. It isn't just Big Tech who is threat, but also regulation by Big Government.

what makes you think that they won't take action against the fediverse and simply prosecute the use and hosting... if the whole thing is still legally applied to proxies, vpn's etc would you do that how? this is now being completely enforced and far worse than what china is doing. chat control etc will also come

There are already instances hosted in countries that don't play ball with the UK

europe and amerika will follow. So Europe attacks DNS resolver etc at the moment. proxys,vpns etc too. so how you wanna reach them later if blocked?

I suppose everyone would hear to tor or another anonymous network then.

InviZible Pro The best thing is to look at the app yourself. To establish the connection you can choose between proxy,vpn,root mode. Otherwise, after opening the app, select the services and start them. You can also make all kinds of settings for the respective module.
