I don't really get it though, it's not like they're trying to court advertisers.
Or are they?
They’re trying to avoid law enforcement and lawyers at their doors.
Even if you prevail, either can be a very expensive and/or destructive process.
Make no mistake, Reddit’s recent refusal to provide details surrounding users that were discussing piracy is highly unlikely to happen in the fediverse. Admins are going to get hit with a subpoena and comply because they can’t afford not to.
They don't want to be arrested lmao. I am pro-piracy, but I would never want to host pirated content from my own servers. You can absolutely be jailed for that.

Exactly. I don't get why people are freaking out so much when it's easy to create a new account and clients support multiple accounts anyways. Big instances are a big target so they need to protect themselves. On Reddit the piracy subs are neutered because they can't link to anything. What's good about the fediverse is you can have sub verses within it. It's dumb to have your piracy account linked to your main account anyways.
Having multiple accounts is an inconvenience that shouldn’t be required
