Lineage OS user. Don’t care.

Thanks, that’s a bit more meat. Should probably look for their publications.

Paywalled.

Her parents have been harassed. She herself will not return to Germany for fear of persecution.

I recall several other cases in the press where people were persecuted and fined.

To recap, there is recently introduced very broad legislation which can be enforced selectively and is being used to harass and silence dissenting opinions. As lemmy.world operators are censoring a piracy community for fear of liability and hence are likely to do the same for political communities I will be moving on from this instance to a more permissive one. EOT.

It is illegal in Germany to voice a nonmainstream opinion. See https://linkezeitung.de/2022/06/16/meinungsfreiheit-deutsche-staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-gegen-alina-lipp/ for a case citing the relevant laws. Other countries like Czechia and some Baltic countries have similar legislation. It is not yet illegal to bypass blocks of censored mass media like e.g. RT, Sputnik News or any Russian TV channel.

Lemmy.world is hosted at Hetzner in Germany.

The same country where lemmy.world is hosted, but there are multiple countries in the EU on track to implement 1984 down to the letter.

Thanks, good info. Never had any problems with pfsense or opnsense with Intel server NICs personally. Other than being fried.

In the country I live I can literally go to jail if I voice opinions other than “unprovoked Russian aggressive attack”. Presumably the more timid local Lemmy instance owners would fear liability.

Not exactly a new user. My lemmy.ml account is three years old.

Time to get serious about running my own instance. I now have to wonder what kind of political opinion I might voice which could make the instance operators liable. This is not tolerable long-term.

Same. Quad port Intel NIC.

Many are waiting for their data takeout requests to complete before doing the same. And to follow up with GDPR requests/GDPR deletion requests.

All to improve their quarter numbers pre-IPO.
