Basically, there was a discussion about how instances have rules and Feddit also needs to abide by local (Austrian) law to not get in legal trouble.

And I get called a Zionazi for saying that you cant just up and call for the massacre of civilians, regardless of which side you are on.

It’s also ironic for Dessalines to mock me for sticking to rules and laws to protect our instance.

    Should runs into the problem of what happens if you don’t.

    If you can get away with disobeying senseless laws, you should. But when you’re a very easy target, like an established web server hosted in the country in question, you do have to play some risk-reward calculations in your head to decide if this is the hill you want to die on.

    A particularly iconoclastic anarchist might legitimately argue that underage individuals should not be subjected to additional privacy laws when online, as a form of ageism, but they might want to sit down and take a long and hard look at whether that’s really what they want their website to have a showdown with the state on, simply within the context of their own ideology.

    Don’t throw good resources away on losing battles. Be strategic.
