Hello everyone,
Following the recent discussions on [email protected] and [email protected] , it seems that people realize that Lemmy.world is subject to European laws, and not the US ones.
This is another event where US citizens seem to be looking for an instance that would adhere to their “legal culture”, the previous one being the US elections, where the topic was discussed everywhere, before getting channeled into [email protected]
I don’t know anything about Dutch or Finnish laws, but I’ve seen many recent articles about people arrested in Germany for their social media posts that were considered hateful or violent (which is frankly a culture shock to me as an American), so I can see why some of the posts on Lemmy in the past week would be concerning.

So, the question is: could Discuss.online become that instance? And host US-focused communities like “AskUSA”, “USPolitics”, “USFinance”, this kind of things?
I am mostly asking because there’s no secret that the DO admins aren’t the biggest Lemmy fans, so would you guys be okay if your instance would get promoted, potentially causing an influx of users and communities, some requiring moderation?
Thank you for your reply! As it’s a case by case approach, what would be your opinion on something like
Would that be allowed, or would it be removed? No strong opinion on my side, just trying to clarify things.
That’s just like someones opinion I suppose. I’d react to reports and leave it otherwise.
If they listed people or made it seem like a planned thing I’d remove it. But general disgust for the rich is understanding and worth a discussion.
Just hate speech echo chamber stuff isn’t a conversation. Its a mob. So I might stop stuff like that.
