    Who do you think the instance admins are? These are normal people, techies who know about running a server. But without a legal department.

    They’ll not be eager to even risk a court case.

      That’s not what was said. There’s never been a legal trial of the fediverse.

      Any other court case regarding IP is irrelevant.

      There’s no precedent for activitypub, and that’s the point.

        That’s totally not a point. When the admin of an instance has no interest in even getting close to something that might get them into court, it’s totally fine that they take measures.

        Whether you like that or not is just as irrelevant as whether another admin was in court already.

          That’s totally my point. Not sure what the rest of your scree is about. I don’t deal in hypotheticals. I also run my own instance because I’m not a stupid wanker who has to put up with the bullshit of cowards.
