GDPR absolutely applies to Lemmy, it’s just that nobody has looked at it / there wasn’t a complaint. When that happens, lemmy will be in trouble.
It isn’t that it doesn’t “apply” it is that there won’t be any enforcement. These are different concepts. The world involves risk assessment and this is a risk I’d take.
There will be enforcement if one asshole reports instances. Are you certain nobody will get disgruntled and report it?
I’m certain that report would most likely not lead to an investigation. Again, you can only get fined if you refuse to cooperate, why wouldn’t the instance owner just cooperate? There is nothing at stake here, there is no money being made on this.
You don’t really know what you are talking about, these aren’t Youtube copyright strikes. These are auditors and regulators who are disorganized, understaffed and underfunded, like every government agency in the world, who deal mostly with huge enterprises. All audits and regulations are a risk assessment and anyone who understands the actual risks can make a decision if they want to host or not. As someone who deals with auditors and regulators a lot, and understands risk and risk assessments, I would totally feel extremely comfortable hosting a Lemmy instance despite the software having some limitations.
But you have a child’s understanding of the world and the law and are just a concern troll.
Yeah uh huh, I sure do suck mr random person on the internet. The only thing you are saying is “these people won’t audit lemmy because they don’t want to”. You think that in some magical way, lemmy will be immune. Guess what, it won’t. The fines aren’t simply because people aren’t cooperating (and the devs themselves said that they don’t care about GDPR outright). You don’t know how it works, all you do is wishful thinking and insulting others.
