Is the Fediverse KYC'd in the UK with the new law? (lemmy.ml)

Are services like Lemmy, Mastodon or PeerTube KYC'd in the UK?

Sorry to be a doomer, but if so, then the Fediverse has failed and we should just move on with a decentralized web that uses decentralized backends: Nostr, Odysee/LBRY, etc.

Maybe the threat model of the Fediverse was incomplete. It isn't just Big Tech who is threat, but also regulation by Big Government.

The Fediverse is decentralized, a law cannot affect all of Mastodon, Lemmy, or Peertube.

There are hundreds of servers in different parts of the world. Choose one you like.
