       I wonder if it’s possible to skirt any invasive regulation against social networking services by simply:Acting as a generic hosting provider, that provides a free subdomain to each customerHave each customer run their own copy of a single-user instance software, that they solely admin, which may be identified under the free subdomain by default (or the customer can bring their own domain)Close out visibility and registration from any other user.

       @arcanicanis In theory, you could setup a system that could like... Install a preset form of IPFS that each user hosts on their machine and connects to others via an interface to create a social-style network. It's not gonna be perfect, but it would be truly decentralized to the user level.

       You wouldn’t need a whole auxiliary network just to decentralize identity, it just takes DIDs that can be used plainly over surface web (and can be transited on overlay networks too): https://arcanican.is/primer/ap-decentralization.phpThe point of the topic is dealing with invasive laws, whereas if the hosting provider is just a neutral utility, and the user is the operator of their own Social Network Service where they’re the only user they have administrative control over, it could theoretically defer liability to the user (“customer”), especially if the provider has no role in maintaining the customer’s provided software, and has no role in moderating the content of the customer’s installation.
