They're still going to try. Russia already has, and they're the home of Marxism-Leninism.

"Anti-AI troll" appears in more than just those two. That's shorthand for being concerned with copyright.
It's 100% possible to block a website in one country that comes from another country. It doesn't affect the website in its own country, but it still prevents the website from being usable in the country that blocked it.
In the past, I too may have said he's probably not aware of the fediverse, but then a fediverse mod blew up a fertility clinic a few weeks ago. That at least puts us all on the far edges of the NSA's radar. Even Kiwi Farms has never produced any mass saboteurs.
The artist doesn't need to be an artist-for-profit for it to apply. They just need to be someone who can say they spent all day on an art piece. The incentive for that goes away when it amounts to something that other people can enjoy without any boundaries.
It's there in the fine print.
Sometimes those rules reflect a personal choice. Sometimes they reflect ethics. And sometimes they are protecting themselves from the law.
Almost every instance has defederated from Burggit because its terms of service mention they will turn a blind eye to pedo content. Pedo content, quite obviously, is highly illegal (at least in the majority of first world nations), which shouldn't have to be mentioned to people. Nobody is applying that logic to Burggit.
When a government blocks a website in a country, they do so by registering the website's name on a list of websites held by the internet providers. They can do this to any website federated with a certain website they want blocked until they're all blocked. They have blocked email providers before, if you want a rough model of how this would work.
I haven't used their platform for the very reason that I wouldn't follow their rule.
There is no “fediverse” to shut down.
Unless you're the government. The government has power over the internet providers.
I counted way more than two communities. That's often said to mean it's an instance ban.
In case people missed it (I will assume good faith here), “anti-AI troll” is another way of saying “this person is concerned about copyright”.
That's indeed what he said.
People would think that not remembering that copyright is more than just about the distribution.
Oh. I read those all as different people. My bad.
