Are instances of fediverse platforms going to be affected by this law? Does it apply at all to the fediverse?

No. The act would only apply to “digital news intermediaries that occupy a prominent market position”. Unless an instance starts pulling in millions of dollars, the act wouldn’t apply.

From what I’ve heard they’re going to keep a list of big platforms that count. Nobody is going to put a little Lemmy instance on there unless the law is being deliberately misused.

That’s sounds vague, if that ao I bet there will be a lot of lobbying from people that don’t want to be considered “prominent”
