One of the many, many, many reasons to keep Meta out of the Fediverse if it can be managed.

How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.

Agree. People like to act like Lemmy is a utopia where privacy is always protected and what not. The fact is when it comes down to it, the admins have to comply with the law. If a warrant shows up at their door, they got no choice but to give up information.
