The owner of this instance lives in the Netherlands, so the turkish government can’t force him to share it, but I suppose he could if you share it with him.

I would expect that a Dutch organizations will not just give personal information if you didn't do anything wrong by Dutch Law. At least the owner won't be forced to by the state. The Turkish government would have to come with things that are illegal in the Netherlands as well.

But I would be careful with sharing identifying information, if your government really thinks criticizing them on Lemmy would be enough to go after you. Of course, everyone will try to prevent it, but nobody can guarantee that there will never be a vulnerability that allows them to hack data from a Lemmy instance. But I doubt they will ever find it valuable enough to actually try that.

Are you posting identifying information about yourself? Are you connecting through a VPN? Both important questions if you're worried about retaliation to your expression of free speech

With the federation I would be careful without someone measures. Not sure if IP addresses get shared between instances, but I heard the E-Mail would.

On Lemmy, your informations are less protected because of the fediverse design.

In other words, the « privacy » and « protection » is on your own :

• VPN for the IP
• Trashed email from trusted source.
• I'm sure there are other things to keep in mind.

It's not as at Internet's beginning. Now authoritarian countries have a lot of tools to track and find opponents. West countries don't give a fuck and sometime even helps authoritarian countries to have those tools running. It's a global movement that countries are slowly keeping Internet control back. Sad time for global free of speech.

Stay safe, bro!
