@LukefromDC @eff Possibly, IMHO, this kind of shit will resemble the situation with torrents, but worse – because ~30 years passed and the politics learnt something about computers and Internet: both can be used to avoid state propaganda and to make horizontal connections between people, so they need less government and less state — and this is "bad" because old mans in suits loss their power and their narcissic resource (powerless citizens). So, I think, hosting Mastodon server somewhere in UK, US, Russia or Germany will lead to police smashing your door and to local news about "some guy violated the law designed to PROTECT CHILDREN!!!11". But with a seed^Wmastodon-box somewhere in Netherlands, bought for crypto or cash, and a some still not blocked VPN – you are safe
