He didn't just try. He succeeded in doing so. His pull request was merged into systemd and will land into your distro eventually (if it is systemd-based).

There are distros free of systemd, like Devuan, based on Debian.

    Is the Fediverse KYC'd in the UK with the new law? in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

    If you need a VPN to access it, then the Fediverse isn't censorship-resistant. The VPN is. Even more, the Fediverse instance is geoblocking/censoring you.

    Examples of services that geoblock you or KYC you:

    • Reddit
    • YouTube
    • Fediverse instances

    Examples of services that don't geoblock/KYC you:

    • Tor
    • Nostr
    • IPFS
    • I2P
    • VPNs

    Is the Fediverse KYC'd in the UK with the new law? (lemmy.ml)
     

    Are services like Lemmy, Mastodon or PeerTube KYC'd in the UK?

    Sorry to be a doomer, but if so, then the Fediverse has failed and we should just move on with a decentralized web that uses decentralized backends: Nostr, Odysee/LBRY, etc.

    Maybe the threat model of the Fediverse was incomplete. It isn't just Big Tech who is threat, but also regulation by Big Government.
