I think they best solution here is just easy to deploy proxies, it prevents banning by DNS or IP. More than that and they might as well just put the great firewall.

There are sites dedicated to listing all federated lemmy instances. Knowing the FOSS nerds, surely there’s even an API already.

Some might slip, but very few large ones. That’s if the government cares about lemmy

Here in European country it’s mandatory, and generally it has to be id or passport (very very few and usually not generally accessing alternatives exist, drivers license in particular is not a valid id).

The thing is the id is

1. Mandatory in general to have (wich on itself some people might disagree with)
2. Generally easy to get (surely not convenient in the most rural/remote)

For me to have an official id and to have to use it sounds just normal really. Changing the rules last minute of course is not OK, but with with enough notice…

“It’s not fragmented, it’s federated!”
