Hi everyone this is my first post here , I was just wondering , what if this antipiracy companies threatened the owner of this instance to share the details of users that are sharing piracy just like they did with reddit. But since this is a single person that is running it, it will be easier for this antipiracy companies to obtained that info? What data does this instance collect? What if the cease the server?
I think what they are referring to is this.

The concern is that since the operator of the instance is not a huge corporation, it would be easier to achieve. I would bet that it’s possible for an instance operator to have ip addresses of their users. So, it is a legitimate concern.
