As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR complient? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Does Lemmy even need to be gdpr compliment? It's not a company, it's private individuals.

It doesn't apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 (c). For shits and giggles would fall under that.

I agree. I was replying to your comment that GDPR applies to private data collection for shits and giggles, which isn't correct. For Lemmy, I'm certain it applies. GDPR applies to small churches even
