      I’m worried my library would ban me for wanting more stuff to be owned like libraries.

      I don’t disagree, but the majority of Japanese are just using whichever device is in their pocket (largely iPhones or Android, some feature phones, the occasional tablet, and much more rarely (outside of official business work), an actual full-sized computer).

        I think they’re suggesting that business owners create Lemmy communities with their phones, hosted on library servers.

          Ah. That’d be a nightmare here, probably. Japan is pretty notorious for low tech literacy outside of a few narrow areas. I also think that this might have reliability impacts that just drive people away. Finally, no average japanese person has any idea what the fediverse is, so that’s another hurdle to jump.
