Comment on Improving the Fediverse to allow it to actually take over the social media space.

which is the “appropriate” jurisdiction?
what if it’s not illegal in my country, but it is illegal in the country where the server is? I have no other choice of server, you’re taking away our ability to join servers in our own countries

Ideally it would be hosted in the EU and thus only things illegal there would be enforced.

Still too problematic, as what is legal and not in the EU depends on the trendy neo-nazi party du jour. Check Germany, for one, where apparently showing any disapproval of Israel gets you Gestapo’d, or that’s what Lemmy administrators in Europe seem to fear. Or Italy / Spain, where any attempt to liberate sports transmissions gets half the internet shut down.
Oh, did I even mention Turkiye?
Honestly, I’ve always been of the opinion that projects that are intended to be truly international need to build up to some sort of “all humanity” jurisdiction or international waters jurisdiction. Since it’s not like the UN is going to provide any sort of aid here.

Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they’re a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.

Which further emphasizes the question. If things are bad enough in Switzerland that you have to consider leaving, where to?

Whose to say that’s the ideal? That sounds biased. Also the “ideal” (if there is such a thing) could change over time with global politics.

any country in the EU

Including Germany, which has draconian laws against criticizing Israel’s genocidal actions and fascist regime, as demonstrated by the recent drama over feddit.org?
Laws aren’t identical across the EU. If you are aggregating content from a bunch of instances, there will be content aggregated that’s illegal in one place and not another.
