They are also proportional to the size of the leak. Small businesses get some leeway, but the approach that devs have had so far is “we don’t care” when it was brought up.
It’s an issue for both. If a software you run can get you fined in both the US and the EU, then devs need to adapt or nobody will be using it. Right now, lemmy is too small for big wigs to notice. It takes one disgruntled user to report the breaches though, and everything can change veeeery quickly.
Your point is “don’t make our devs do things that are essential for using it in Europe”
I wasn’t talking about some issues on github, I was talking about GDPR. If lemmy is to be used in any way, it can’t behave like some student project thrown together from random bits. Legal is part of that. And there is a lot of it to go through. I get it, it’s not fun at all to code that and they’d rather do some cool new feature instead. But it needs to be done, even if nobody wants to do it. Or, at least people could simply accept the risk of it going really bad.
Yeaaah, except I don’t care about this platform enough to invest money into it. It has huge flaws, no people, etc. The fact of the matter is though, and I keep repeating this, once it gets noticed, it will be hit by fines. And by that time, it will be a huge scandal, with both admins and devs wishing they actually coded the “uninteresting” parts of the app.
