I don't think federation saves us. If the server owners are in the states they still have to comply. I don't know for certain, but I think if there are us citizens using it, some laws might compel non us based servers as well.
The only way around it that I can think of is tor. That doesn't make it legal it would just be harder to stop.
All of this is assuming the US justice department would even care enough though.

I don't know the text of the sanctions, but lemmy.world could be under US jurisdiction if they allow me to violate sanctions.
Seems pretty dumb to me that the US has been allowed to assert itself this much.
