Regarding GDPR, one thing I've done as an instance admin is making clear in our privacy policies that lemmy allows you to send and receive social content and interactions across the internet in a way that's similar to email.
Actually I think it needs a lot of work regarding wording, because it doesn't really read as too professional. But I plan on keeping the core concept. My assumption here is that the GDPR is fine with people sending emails with details over to servers that the email provider has no control over, so the same should apply to the fediverse.
