Great explanation, it's what I was hoping to write until my lemmy client crashed with the unfinished comment.

I'm curious what would happen if some copyright holder tried to get information about a user on lemmy. Iirc only the users instance could log their IP, but almost all instances are run by volunteers, so risking a lawsuit might no be viable. Just look at what Tachiyomi devs have to go through, even though all they're doing was and is legal.

I am very much against this and totally agree. I think this could open some really dangerous doors re: internet privacy.

Wear a VPN, folks.
