TOS applicability to federated users
I would like a clarification on whether posting on lemmy.world community from another instance constitutes constitutes 'accessing' or 'using' your website/service and therefore makes me subject to your TOS.
Thanks.

Hi,
yes your instance of your user is subject to our TOS.
If you dont interact at all then of course not. We do this for the safety of our service, as any other server does ( as their server rules apply to federated content / users too ).
yes your instance of your user is subject to our TOS.
I can't make sense of that sentence, I assume you mean users regardless of instance are subject to your TOS if they post in communities in lemmy.world
Which I find bizarre because I am not your user, I have not agreed to your TOS and I am not using your site, API etc deffined
To be clear I am not talking about bans or post deletions, you don't need a TOS or my consent to prevent me posting in your server.
Rather about stuff section 4.2 and the Our Rights sections where users waive you from any claims, the pseudo-legal stuff. By the same logic a user would be subject to any TOS from any instance to whose communities they happen to post at.Obviously Lemmy can't work that way.
But you interact with us. By "your instance of your user" i mean the copy of your profile on our server.
We enforce the TOS equally between local users and the instances of federated users that got federated to us.
Does this include stuff like me waiving any claims against you for any action taken in a investigation by you or law enforcement?
In fact care to explain what sort of actions and investigation lemmy.world envisions performing on users?
