Title says it. Apparently lemmy devs are not concerned with such worldly matters as privacy, or respecting international privacy laws.

"Lemmy" is a piece of software. A piece of software can't violate the GDPR, it's just a blob of data. You need to be running a server to do something that would break the GDPR. Those server-running admins are the ones that need to be concerned about their EU presence.

Maybe some of the people developing Lemmy are in that category and might get in trouble, but it will be because they're running servers not because they're developing Lemmy. If they get arrested or whatever it has no effect on Lemmy-the-software.
