    They’re not making use of the service, though. That’s a misunderstanding. They’re making use of their home servers copy of the other servers community. The user isn’t directly using the remote service.

    It’d be like having two email companies, one only allowing over 18s to have an account. You wouldn’t say you’re making use of the other email service if you send an email to them. You’re not beholden to their ToS or CoC. Same applies here imo.

      What happens when a user posts to that comm?

      Does that user’s post remain only on their home server’s copy of the comm, or does it get federated to the comm they posted to?

        That’s irrelevant. The post wasn’t made via lemmy.zip. we have a copy of the post but the user didn’t interact at all with our website or our server. Their server did, not the user. Again, email. If I have an Outlook account and send an email to a Gmail account, I’m not suddenly subject to the Gmail ToS.

        Otherwise I’d set up my own email and say anyone that emailed me had to pay me a million bananas as part of my ToS.

          Fucking what.

          If I write a poem and have someone slap it on the local bulletin board for me, have I not interacted with the bulletin board?

          Furthermore, elsewhere you mention interacting as not being accessing (specifically mentioning that ‘interacting’ only has the CoC applied), but here you claim a lack of interaction as reason for non-enforcement of the ToS.

          Again, email. If I have an Outlook account and send an email to a Gmail account, I’m not suddenly subject to the Gmail ToS.

          Bruh, that’s literally how it works. Why do you think email accounts from other services can be banned from sending to email services? Gmail can (and literally does) run a blocklist, however ineffective, of email accounts from other email services for violating their ToS.

            I honestly don’t know what you’re on about at this point.

            You’re confusing a code of conduct which is applied to everyone with a terms of service, which i can only apply to people I offer a service to. I don’t hold your data, I can’t delete your account or prevent you from accessing your home server. I am not providing you a service in any way. It’s really that simple.

            Your email thing is wrong btw. Emails can be banned (conduct) by another server, but the account can’t be deleted by the other server (service). You’re confusing the two.

              Like hosting their content?

              Content like text posts?

              Content that goes and is hosted on your servers when a user is federated and not banned from your instance?

              I don’t hold your data,

              See above

              I can’t delete your account or prevent you from accessing your home server. I am not providing you a service in any way. It’s really that simple.

              How does any of that preclude providing a service?

              Your email thing is wrong btw. Emails can be banned (conduct) by another server, but the account can’t be deleted by the other server (service). You’re confusing the two.

              … okay? .world hasn’t ‘deleted’ the account in question? So either you’re very confused about what has happened here, or your attempt at reconciling the email metaphor with your position has proved my point.

                Let me go over this again for you.

                When you joined lemmy.world, you agreed to their ToS. I have not joined lemmy.world, therefore their ToS does not apply to me. They owe me nothing, and cannot delete my account nor any of my users from lemmy.zip. they can ban my users from lemmy.world, remove their posts etc, but they’re only doing that to their copies of the posts. The original copies are on lemmy.zip and lemmy.worlds actions do not affect any other instances that has a copy of the lemmy.zip original.

                Therefore they do not provide my users with a service. If lemmy.world shut down tomorrow, lemmy.zip users would still have service while lemmy.world users would not.

                Similarly a website i have never been to might have a ToS, but I have not agreed to that ToS, therefore it cannot apply to me. Said website is not providing me a service.

                So we’ve established who is providing who a service in this scenario, which is lemm.ee providing a service to their user. That user isn’t using lemmy.world, therefore isn’t receiving a service and isn’t beholden to their ToS.

                Lemmy.world have banned that user from their website because the user is saying their under 18. But they claim to have done this because in their ToS they say they don’t provide a service to under 18s. But that user has not agreed to the ToS.

                While lemmy.world is entitled to do whatever they want imo, it’s their website, to say it’s because of their ToS is incorrectly applying it. They aren’t providing a service to the user. Lemm.ee is.

                Again, they can do whatever they want, it’s their website, but its not how it applies to lemmy.zip. If I was to enact that policy, it would be under the code of conduct as that is what is applied to moderation of remote instances.

                  Except if you access Lemmy.world, as the ToS point out.

                  They owe me nothing, and cannot delete my account nor any of my users from lemmy.zip. they can ban my users from lemmy.world, remove their posts etc, but they’re only doing that to their copies of the posts.

                  … okay? How is any of that relevant?

                  Therefore they do not provide my users with a service.

                  This is like saying “I only made you a poster; I didn’t suck your dick or do your taxes, so I didn’t provide you a service.”

                  You… really need to talk with a lawyer, man. I know Lemmy admins are amateurs, but this is insane.

                    At what point did the user “access” lemmy.world? Did their device connect to lemmy.world at any point during them making their posts? No. It did not. That’s not how federation works.

                    It’s relevant because it shows that lemmy.world has no ownership or control over the original, which is where the barrier for a service would be. I’m not sure how i can make that any clearer.

                    Again, I have no idea what you’re on about with the dick sucking. Saying I have no idea of the law while spouting totally irrelevant arguments is a touch disingenuous.
