What instance?
Was the big one, misskey.io. I found a federated instance I was able to register at, I just wonder just how federated it's all going to be if the big instance is restricted.
misskey.io is a Japanese instance under Japanese law. With pretty lax rules, and only under Japanese law. Which means that just about everything in the West blocks misskey.io, and I think misskey.io doesn't let Westerners join.
Why?
Because lolicon is allowed on misskey.io.
Thing is, lolicon may or may not count as CSAM by Western standards. Western lawmakers haven't decided about it yet, hence "may or may not". But "may or may not" may mean "yes, it is".
And so, to be safe, Western instances block the hell out of misskey.io to keep what may or may not be CSAM from coming in. Remember that Mastodon caches any and all media. One lolicon post being washed up on Mastodon.social may be enough for Gargron to end up behind bars for "having child pr0n on his Web server".
In Japan, on the other hand, lawmakers have decided. Lolicon is not CSAM, and it's legal.
Thus, misskey.io, being hosted in Japan under Japanese law and only Japanese law, allows lolicon all over the place.
