Hi everyone this is my first post here , I was just wondering , what if this antipiracy companies threatened the owner of this instance to share the details of users that are sharing piracy just like they did with reddit. But since this is a single person that is running it, it will be easier for this antipiracy companies to obtained that info? What data does this instance collect? What if the cease the server?

It really depends on how that specific instance is set up. Of course during the registration you provide your username and email, but some instances may keep logs that contain things like ip addresses, your user agent and so on (my instance does, for example, but only for a limited time), while some may opt to not keep that info at all (from the sysadmin perspective though they'd kinda be in the dark while trying to fight things such as server abuse).

However, I don't know how it looks from the legal perspective. I'd imagine only the courts could force you to share the information stored on the server, but that requires a process.
