    Lemmy also doesn’t have a single owner. It would be crazy hard to comply if each instance had to have their own representative in the EU.

    Or maybe since most Lemmy instances aren’t corporations it doesn’t matter? I bet only a lawyer could say for sure.

      Instances that are established in the EU don’t need a representative. Instances outside the EU don’t really need to care. What’s the EU going to do about it? (I am not fully certain if they are in scope, unless they particularly target people in the EU.)

      I doubt the average lawyer would be able to say much. The DSA is not something 99.9% of them will ever encounter. Anyway, it does not matter if the service is run by a corporation or an individual.
