Nah dude, I’m not not advocating to be havin to deal with they csam bullshit.
It’s the main thing we have zero tolerance for on our instance HC.
It’s the primary reason we were not federating in the first place.
So no I don’t expect anyone to put themselves legally at risk for a hobby that doesn’t pay your bills just so I can post my poop and fart questions on shitty ask hilariouschaos lol
But I’m gunna level with you though.
I don’t trust the intentions of most instance admins.
There’s this veil of secrecy and sneakiness there that I just don’t appreciate.
It’s not a way that myself and our other server admin operated.
We’re always straight up and 100% transparent as fuck no matter what till the end. We have no issue telling our users what’s going on and how stuff works if they have questions or if there’s any changes. I’m not saying that to talk shit on you.
And I get that you have to protect yourself that is true yes of course.
I’m just trying to explain why I asked you that question in the first place.
I’m not going to tell you how to run your shit, cuz I wouldn’t like it if you told me that LOL haha but there’s a huge benefit to being unapologetically brutally honest and straightforward and up front.
I don’t know I just feel like there’s some hidden agenda something just doesn’t sit well with me with some other instance admins.
It’s just really fucking weird anyway I hope y’all figure out your stuff.
Thanks for responding

ISPs in some parts of the world spy on users to, for example sell their browsing habits to advertisers and data brokers. That’s a good motivation for some people to browse via VPN by default, not to enable it only when accessing specific sites.

Most people dont understand that vpn providers can and will do that too ( even paid ones ) track you, log you and sell that. So yeah both sides track you.

That’s definitely a concern. I selected my provider (Mullvad) because I know someone who worked there, and I have fairly high confidence they don’t do that.

Instance admins chose to block vpns simply because of mullvad and then increased liability, because if there is comming a malicious actor through mulvad and they dont have any logs all liability goes to the instance admin, and then gets questions “Why didnt you just blocked vpns?” etc. etc.
