edit:
just wanted to share a great observation that was made by UlrikHD in our admin channel:
“So if a company wanted to demand the ip of every member on a piracy community, they would have to contact every instance federated with that community then
good to know”
With the federation does that also mean that the ip records are replicated? Because that would be a lot of parties that can be threatened, with only one required to give in…
So how would that work with Lemmy? If a company demands the IP of users?
Guess that depends on the instance. Mine will sadly have a technical issue which corrupted the database.
For our instance we’ve answered that here:
Reddit might be forced to hand out IPs of users frequenting piracy subreddits: how does programming.dev compare?

Instance owners would have way, way fewer resources and almost definitely need to just capitulate. Assuming they even had the info to share, though.

I could be wrong, but I believe you only disclose your IP to your Lemmy instance.
Don’t browse lemmy with your naked IP. This isn’t the 90s. When using the Internet, wear a condom.
