    3 options:

    1. Join a mastodon instance;
    2. Run your own instance and connect to mastodon;
    3. Run your own instance and connect to the worst of mankind;

    And you’re picking #3?

      If they pass a law that social media platforms need to collect ID the instance you run will have to collect ID or shut down. No single entity runs Bastyon and no ID laws can be enforced.

        You can’t even move goalposts right. If you run a server for yourself you’ve already collected the ID for its single user.

        Since you’re not interested in honest discourse and are pushing an agenda, I’ll now block you. Have a great life!

          You do not understand the platform and are speaking out of ignorance. You do not need to run a node to use the platform and no one can stop you from joining.

          If you run a node you participate in the network, your user does not reside or originate from your node it is distributed as all metadata is stored on chain.
