Or made any kind of commentary on it? Or are they depending on being deathly silent to reduce the chance of anyone finding out?

    I suspect that instances outside the US will simply be too small a factor to bother with.

    Aren’t the largest (by user population) Lemmy instances already located outside of the USA? .world is in the Netherlands, I believe. Sopuli.xyz in Finland, etc. Even Midwest.social is not hosted in the USA.

      See my other comment. I wasn’t saying at all that Lemmy was a US-only thing, I was just trying to say that that the whole network is probably enough of a niche platform that it’s not worth the substantial effort that would be involved in trying to interfere too much with US users on non-US instances. Big instances in the US, they can fuck with, and so why not (and especially since the Take it Down act is structured to empower individuals to go after them without the government needing to spend resources on it.) Instances outside the US, never mind, we have bigger fish to fry.

      That comment feels very usian centric.

      There is internet outside of the us lol but we can’t imagine it here apparently
