Like I mentioned, I’m not a lawyer and have no legal training, but it seems to me that someone could legally force an instance to at a minimum provide IP logs, email addresses, etc.

VPNs, throwaway emails

Sure, but it doesn’t stop them from being legally forced to provide the info regardless.

I’d also add that the attempt to sue users by the owners of lemmy.ml would likely cause almost every other instance to defederate them (except hexbear and lemmygrad) and rebuild on piefed. It would very likely decapitate lemmy.
Also, many instances aren’t even hosted in the USA. Not sure where the lemmy.ml admins are even from.
