I don't see how anybody could come for lemmy. I feel this just attacks centralized services

    If they threaten server admins with legal action based on the global user count of lemmy rather than their local server user count I'm sure plenty of owners will fold.

    Lemmy is probably not complying with UK law already. But if hosted outside the UK you can just ignore them.

    Some instances have blocked the UK but you can also just ignore it because wtf are they going to do

    Lemmy is still very centralized, sure there are many servers and that takes care of the /u/spez problem but very little else, most topic generally have one big community and it's on the one big server

    You can go elsewhere, if you like speaking into the void and nobody even hearing you.

    one big community and it’s on the one big server

    Which you can follow from another server, what's your point?
