MODERATORS
It's not like the devs care about laws since one of the main motivations of creating Lemmy was to create a space where pirated media could be shared. That's why !piracy@lemmy.ml exists
Dessaline said that multiple times in the past before Lemmy gained such traction. He's also the dev of TorrentCSV
1 contributor’s opinion and the existence of one community does not an argument make.
the devs don’t care about laws, if you want to put it so broadly, because the devs aren’t the ones who would get in trouble here, anyway. instance owners would likely catch the most trouble, especially because you can also add your own gdpr compliance if you want to.
also most devs aren’t facebook. most devs don’t really care too much about tracking users. the commercial sector on the other hand…
But the devs are also instance owners.
Not all of them are! I could contribute to the code base right now and I don’t have an instance.
Lemmy.ml is and Lemmygrad.ml was
My point still stands.
