With the federation does that also mean that the ip records are replicated? Because that would be a lot of parties that can be threatened, with only one required to give in…
As long you don’t do the “known illegal” stuff you don’t need a VPN.
However if you upload copyrighted material a vpn is one of very many steps to ensure that the police won’t get you. A VPN alone does not provide any security. It delays at best the police
So how would that work with Lemmy? If a company demands the IP of users?
Instance owners would have way, way fewer resources and almost definitely need to just capitulate. Assuming they even had the info to share, though.

I could be wrong, but I believe you only disclose your IP to your Lemmy instance.
Don’t browse lemmy with your naked IP. This isn’t the 90s. When using the Internet, wear a condom.
