We're hosted in Germany, but that doesn't actually matter as the admins are physically in the UK so Ofcom fines are actually a worry. I need to do another review (yay), but I'm pretty sure we don't have to do any age verification. We do have to assume all our users are children though, as we can only say we don't if we do 'highly effective age verification' of our users, and we do host content that is 'likely to appeal to children', but I don't believe we host anything that would need to be gatekept from children. We actively block NSFW content and as far as I'm aware there isn't a suicide encouragement or terrorist recruitment community on Lemmy. There are maybe some things that I may need to be changed/patch in Lemmy (e.g. letting users lock their own posts), or making some safety tools (one I want to work on is doing perceptual hashing of images embedded in markdown as current tools only work on post links), but I don't think complying is necessary an issue for us. I'm not a lawyer though and that's just my understanding, we could be fucked.

This entire 'force every website to keep a separate database of users adult status' is so stupid and I swear it only works like this because of lobbying from companies like Yoti. PornHub is right that it should be device based, but these laws are only using children as a crutch. It's implemented like this because certain parts of the British establishment find porn icky and are hoping by making it more invasive to access that you'll stop watching it. Of course, all this is going to do is push people to sites that don't follow the law so host more extreme content.

Could you change the title to match the actual article title, not all clients show the original and editorialised titles are against the rules.

snac2 erasure.

Turns out they lied, one book targeted at adults got moved from the welcome area to further back in the library. Truly an impressively incompetent bunch these Reform councilors.

They're accepting the changes you're making fine, you can see as such here.

Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you're running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.

Are you installing this on a computer in your house? Because this seems to be a residential IP.

Do you have 'Show Post/Comment scores' enabled in your account setting. (Click 'Account' at the bottom, then the cog icon in the top right).

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars.

I'll even concede that's it's not the worst song I've heard, but I just hate it.

I mean, you're the one who brought up trans women in sports, admitted to not knowing anything about the subject, and then outright stated you didn't care if you're statements caused hurt, so I can see why you copped a (3 day) ban.

Also, your response to someone concerned about CSAM being posted was to say 'I'm sick of people using "think of the kids" to justify strong moderation' (paraphrasing), so you don't seem like someone worth taking seriously.

That is a very normal bio you have there.

https://azsky.app/ tries to use Bluesky's feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn't going to change that.

Sign ups aren't actually open though, but I can generate an invite code.

Honestly, less than 3K independent PDS is genuinely insane. That's about 14,000 users per PDS provider. For comparison, if Lemmy had that same kind of concentration, there'd be 3-4 instances. PDS providers are also piss easy to host.

They're included in the source code.

Yeah, definitely messed something up with the lemmy-ui, here's what their site actually calls:

I think this might be a problem with their lemmy-ui deployment. Looking at communities on phtn.app with a chachara.club guest account shows the right thing for local.

Now you're just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn't 'just quote something', I quoted the above article.

But fine:

• Web3 and Automattic funding;
• Status.im funding.

Oh for sure, Fallout 3 Geoguesser would be hard. Idk, I just never had a problem navigating them, even if they were a bit samey.

The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn't confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it's talking about Element (formerly Riot). Like, the article says this in pretty simple English, I'm genuinely confused how you could've missed it:

In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I've been told.

They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and bullshit generation AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.

Fallout 3. The criticism is absolutely fair, but it was the first RPG I ever played and I'm still very fond of it.

I never got the 'metros are hard to navigate' criticism, I never had that issues. Most of them are pretty linear.
