I would like a clarification on whether posting on lemmy.world community from another instance constitutes constitutes ‘accessing’ or ‘using’ your website/service and therefore makes me subject to your TOS.

Thanks.

    Investigation doesnt mean like we check your browser or whatever, we check our instance ocasionally and check profiles if they break our TOS ( like any instance ).

    Investigation is not always like we call the hounds on anyone like police and lawyers. You still interact with our servers, even tho its indirect, your federated user is still on our servers and with it your data. When your TOS doesnt apply to you then we would not even react to reports of you because “you are out of our teritory”, the TOS is a thing for YOUR rights and OUR rights.

    We declare it just in a bit more legal way. But this just sums up what the most instances already do, but just dont declare it like lemmy.world does.
