I am wondering how feddit.uk will handle this.
Good luck @flamingos@feddit.uk
I very much doubt Ofcom knows what Feddit is, let alone Lemmy.
Even if the probability is low, it’s understandable that admins want to avoid that risk
It’ll only be an issue if they host mature content or federate with other instances that do, no?
The OSA bill in the UK has caused a hamster forum to shut down over concerns of not being able to follow it (or the risks associated with non-compliance). It’s an unbelievably wordy and excessive bill that is a bureaucratic nightmare for small communities.
