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.

ysk, it's not just pornography, it's vague and targets "legal content harmful to children". It's up to content provider or facilitator to decide how broad it'll be and for the UK courts to test the scope.
