Could Discuss.online become the go-to USA instance? - Discuss Online
Hello everyone, Following the recent discussions on [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/yepowertrippinbastards] and [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld] , 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] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/politicaldiscussion] > 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. https://lemmy.world/comment/13870047 [https://lemmy.world/comment/13870047] 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?
