So, Lemmy is a better place?

Depends on which instance you use for your client, I would say. For me only discuss.tchncs.de gets to see my IP address, and Milan Ihl, our admin, as well as his Lemmy server, are in Germany.

This means two things:

  • You can shop for a location of home instance that you deem Nintendo-safe
  • Nintendo would have to multiply its legal efforts many times over and through different jurisdictions if they wanted to get all users of a community, which might affect their effort-value-considerations.

But I've probably doxxed myself with personal stories. Pretty sure a dedicated person could find my employer, the team I'm in, and my age.

This is why you change accounts every few months

They would find out that I'm a violent and dangerous criminal with bipolar disorder.

Well… it’s all public anyway so no need to make a request. Just scrape it.
