These kinds of posts and titles on Lemmy are a serious issue that I've noticed over the last 6 to 7 months. There appears to be a serious issue with moderation and a lot of Lemmy subs. I'm not calling for any Reddit styled moderation here. Absolutely not. I'm just saying something needs to happen here to better moderate these subs.

So they are using a form of harassment? Get them to look at the cost of sending someone vs just betraying one user. Of course the blowback as reddit shows it would betray your anonymity could be a pr disaster. If the article is correct then the whole demand is truly bizarre. There seems to be nothing in the reddit user's postings to warrant this amount of concern. The fact that his comments are innocuous may be to set a precedent that any criticism, regardless of severity, can be prosecuted or at least intimidation.

No, it's not volunteering, at least not anymore. Subpoena is legal Latin for "under penalty," because noncompliance with a subpoena carries a penalty. Originally, it was an information request from the feds, and Reddit refused. Then they escalated to getting a grand jury subpoena (which means they got a bunch of normal citizens to agree that the information was relevant to a criminal investigation), so now noncompliance carries a penalty. Reddit notified the users, who hired their own lawyers, who are resisting the subpoena and will litigate it to where they need a judge to decide whether Reddit will have to turn the information over. That's the process for these things, and we're a couple steps in already.
