I give a fuck about creating a welcoming safe space on this instance.
I give a fuck that we act with integrity and fairness.
I don't give a fuck that it hurts your feelings to be called out, nor do I have time to respond to emails that are just more justifications of your transphobia.
We issued a temp ban as a warning. Instead you harass my admin team and bad mouth admins from other instances, while continuing to try and justify yourself.
I suggest you find another instance that will accept your behaviour, because its not welcome here.
Lemm.ee didn't shut down because it was financially unsustainable though. It shut down because the admin team didn't want to do it anymore.
Plenty of people have offered to take lemm.ee on and AFAIK nothing has progressed, but handled in a different way there could have been continuity and no need for users to transition away.
Given that the issue wasn't one of finance and rather one of effort/will, how does charging for access change anything? The owner could decide they have had enough, walk away, and shut everything down anyway, no?
Been playing this for a couple of days with friends - amazing game, demo is great. Like a mix of deep rock, sea of theives etc. Really worth checking out.
Yeah spot on, it's complicated by me being a UK resident and also the owner, and so the only way to protect the site without introducing age verification and AI monitoring (which are dystopian measures, not to mention incredibly expensive) without changing aspects of the site, is to just not provide a service to the UK users.
If I wasn't in the UK, I'd just ignore this act like every other admin and service does.
There is no need for us to defederate, the law is around accessing a specific website and the onligations to ensure the content on that website doesnt fall under the OSA.
It doesn't matter where that content comes from, just that UK users don't see specific content. Therefore we don't show UK users any content.
That's kind of a simplified summary, but hopefully makes sense.
It only impacts lemmy.zip because I am a UK resident and run the site, so am liable under the act. Otherwise I'd do what everyone else has done and ignore it.
429 error - image is rate limited I would assume, potentially by sopuli given the url and the fact it works on sopuli. Second time today I've seen the lemmy image proxy cause an issue with being double proxied!
I do give a fuck.
