If an entity isn’t in Europe it shouldn’t be a problem at all.
That depends and should depend on what the instance is used for and whom it is used for.
If it’s an instance open to anyone, it’s up to Europeans to not participate if they don’t want to.
Yeah unfortunately that’s not how the law works.
Or the US. The US enforces GDPR on behalf of the EU. If the US catches you with misusing EU citizens’ data, they will let the EU take 10 million off your accounts and/or close your instance.
