    And I disagree that that counts as making use of the service. Lemmy also sends Webmentions, if someone with a world account posts a blog post from someone and world then sends a Webmention to that blog, does lemmy.world’s TOS apply to the blogger? TOS applying over distributed systems is frankly impracticable.

      … what does count as making use of the service, if not posting to the service’s comms?

      Is it impossible to make use of the service unless you’re a user signed up on the service?

      If so, should it be regarded that admins have no authority to bar any user from another instance from the admin’s instance?

        Using lemmy.word to access content. Using https://feddit.uk/post/25339637 to view the content is making use of feddit.uk’s services, using https://lemmy.world/post/26548121 is making use of lemmy.world’s services. Would using an archive to access a lemmy.world post be making use of the service?

        Is it impossible to make use of the service unless you’re a user signed up on the service?

        I wouldn’t say so, even going to lemmy.world without an account would be making use of the service in my mind.

        If so, should it be regarded that admins have no authority to bar any user from another instance from the admin’s instance?

        No? Community spaces can still have rules that govern themselves (that’s why sidebars federate), it’s just that terms of service are for people making use of the service.

          Can you post to Lemmy.world using an archive?

          If not, the question seems of dubious relevance.

          I wouldn’t say so, even going to lemmy.world without an account would be making use of the service in my mind.

          But going to Lemmy.world with an account isn’t making use of the service, so long as it’s not a .world account?

          No? Community spaces can still have rules that govern themselves (that’s why sidebars federate), it’s just that terms of service are for people making use of the service.

          But if no user from another instance is ever using any of the instances they post to, save for their own, how can an admin have the right to ban them?

        They’re not making use of the service, though. That’s a misunderstanding. They’re making use of their home servers copy of the other servers community. The user isn’t directly using the remote service.

        It’d be like having two email companies, one only allowing over 18s to have an account. You wouldn’t say you’re making use of the other email service if you send an email to them. You’re not beholden to their ToS or CoC. Same applies here imo.

          What happens when a user posts to that comm?

          Does that user’s post remain only on their home server’s copy of the comm, or does it get federated to the comm they posted to?

            That’s irrelevant. The post wasn’t made via lemmy.zip. we have a copy of the post but the user didn’t interact at all with our website or our server. Their server did, not the user. Again, email. If I have an Outlook account and send an email to a Gmail account, I’m not suddenly subject to the Gmail ToS.

            Otherwise I’d set up my own email and say anyone that emailed me had to pay me a million bananas as part of my ToS.

              Fucking what.

              If I write a poem and have someone slap it on the local bulletin board for me, have I not interacted with the bulletin board?

              Furthermore, elsewhere you mention interacting as not being accessing (specifically mentioning that ‘interacting’ only has the CoC applied), but here you claim a lack of interaction as reason for non-enforcement of the ToS.

              Again, email. If I have an Outlook account and send an email to a Gmail account, I’m not suddenly subject to the Gmail ToS.

              Bruh, that’s literally how it works. Why do you think email accounts from other services can be banned from sending to email services? Gmail can (and literally does) run a blocklist, however ineffective, of email accounts from other email services for violating their ToS.
