I’m just missing a solid Eyeblech here. I miss that the most from Reddit.
Be the change you want to see!
It's quick and easy to spin up a community/sub!
Oh dear, I certainly hope I’m not involved in any eyeblech… stuff.
Also I think something like that would be defederated from most places.
I just think it’s neat.
I think that's a bit of a dangerous take we need to address. There seem to be very real legal and practical risks + obstacles to safetly and effectively running an instance. I don't want to see people getting themselves hurt or disillusioned prematurely because they had rose colored glasses about this subject
I hear that sometimes, but what legal stuff has actually happened ever?
I'm in the EU so of course I can get some notice of some sort I guess and that's all fine, but as long as I don't make money from it or are going illegal things all day long, what is this "hypothetical" danger?
I call BS, at least for the EU.
