    I fully agree with you - I’m legally liable though under the act and am not risking fines.

      Yeah I don’t blame you either. But I do think the default server should be more inclusive than less, particularly at the potential starting point of a user’s introduction to the fediverse.

        I could see that argument, but I also wanted to pick the best instance for most people, not necessarily an instance that works in every country with every shitty law. We’re all volunteers here.

        And I might change in the future, or create a way for the app to chose a fallback default instance for a better user experience.

          Yep, a region check that sets an alternative default for countries that are blocked by the default server makes way more sense than the default being inaccessible for them.

            A region check might be a good way to handle it and load balance at the same time. Pushing people to a larger variety of instances while also making it easy on them. The down side is certainly the overhead of vetting and maintaining the list.
