Are services like Lemmy, Mastodon or PeerTube KYC’d in the UK?
Sorry to be a doomer, but if so, then the Fediverse has failed and we should just move on with a decentralized web that uses decentralized backends: Nostr, Odysee/LBRY, etc.
Maybe the threat model of the Fediverse was incomplete. It isn’t just Big Tech who is threat, but also regulation by Big Government.
Big Tech IS big government. It’s the same, the difference is just that one has a profit model and that another in some countries can be elected.
And in some, both are the same.
