This pisses me off, governments mandating control. Would this affect Lemmy or any fediverse software one day?
Not feasibly, no. If a centralized platform like bluesky refuses to abide by the laws in a given country, their platform can be made inaccessible in that country. Trying to do that to countless activitypub-compliant servers wouldn't be practical since you van just hop to another server.
Do you think they won't try? I mean both the Tory and previous Labour admins tried to ban encryption.
