I would vaguely imagine that they aren't going to be very happy about the Threadiverse when they discover us. There's no global moderator team to make moderate things.
It certainly is against the GDPR to federate with US instances. US law enforcement could get their hands on our data!
Unless you dox yourself what kind of personal information are instances sharing? On top of that stuff that isn't due to the normal functioning of the site as a public message board?
What's questionable is embedding images, lemm.ee mitigates that with proxying, but ultimately the web is the web and you can't proxy the whole web. Clicking a link will still lead you somewhere else and if your browser pre-loads links then that's up to you.
Don't IP addresses get associated with posts?
Why would they? Serves no purpose.
