    No it wouldn’t become subject to the same law. A new and different law would be required. But that’s wildly hypothetical, given the differences between an open distributed system and a massive private corporation.

    Also, human behaviour and social interactions are seldom quite so transactional.

      Bill C-18 clearly includes Lemmy in theory, only excluding it by virtue of it not being considered dominant. That could change some day should it ever become popular.

      As much as humans don’t like to admit it, human behaviour is always perfectly transactional.

        Please take this as friendly advice: you appear to be describing a dangerous view of social relationships and this could get you in some potentially very serious trouble with the people around you. Please, do not treat your relationships with other people as transactional.

          If someone is going to cause trouble because of some words someone said, they are mentally unwell and it is best to get that out in the open so they can receive the help they need.

          Everything is transactional. Even trying to not be transactional towards another because it makes you feel good that you are not being transactional is actual transactional. Those good feelings are payment for your efforts.
