Comment on What is the need for so many instances?

I’m pointing out that if you’re going to the trouble of hosting your own instance you could as well allow some convenient number of random users to register. It would erase most of your signal and help distribute the load and exposure to specific legal compartments.

Allowing randoms to register, would vastly increase your legal responsibility, from both a GDPR perspective, but also from a legal responsibility for content perspective. I don’t think a small privacy win makes that worth it.
That is true, but that is only those you post to, I have many communities I’m subscribed to but never posted to.
