    Okay. So again, what’s the problem? Everyone should be happy.

    No one on lemmy.world will see anything Sag posts, ~ 1/3 of all Lemmy users. Not the end of the world, but it can be demotivating.

    Humor me for a moment - if you go to a website, directly, do you have to abide by their terms of service?

    No, a TOS is a contract, you have to agree to it to be subject to it.

    Where are you getting the idea that I’m saying TOS shouldn’t be enforced? I’m not saying that, I’m disputing who it applies to.

    You said, and I quote:

    I just don’t think banning a remote user for TOS violation is a good one.

    Remote user, i.e. someone who’s account isn’t on lemmy.world. Local accounts on lemmy.world should still be subject to the TOS.

      The problem remains that the second lemmy.world allows content created by someone underage to federate onto their server, they probably have some legal responsibility regarding that data. And if there is personal information in there, it gets tricky pretty fast in some jurisdictions.

      LW don’t want legal problems, that’s literally all there is to this.

      Whether LW can enforce their ToS on remote users is a different question, and even if the answer to that is “no” then they could still include that clause in every single LW community’s rules.

        If they do, we’re going to see a wave of communities migration away from LW
