Now this is a conspiracy I can get behind.

I thought I was unique, I was the one. It was true love, man. To find out about this betrayal, breaks my heart.

Ooh they’ve updated the friendica url - new urls to add to the block list!

I figure they’re just jealous they didn’t get a PM from Nicole

How does it know about all of my tshirts?!

In X4 you can walk around on ships and stations, jump in other ships etc. It’s very limited though, which is a shame.

The gameplay is fantastic though, you could lose days building an empire.

Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, meta and X are a cesspool without moderation or a thought for the users wellbeing, and deserve tidying up. But it’s going to kill spaces where people can express themselves, and drive UK users underground.

Now would be a good time to start a VPN business targeted to UK users. Actually…

If you’re using cloudflare you can block counties via that.

I’m also in the UK and run an instance - the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing. The stuff that actually mattered hadn’t even been released by OFCOM last time I bothered looking, such as the risk assessment.

I guess we’ll know more when they release the guidance on age verification - that will be what kills most sites off if they insist its required for all social media

Ibis is really early days. I hosted it for a bit and had things like federation issues and softlocks. Will be really interesting when it’s a bit more mature though.

There are additional costs that aren’t factored in (although they’re not specifically lemmy, and I pay for them myself rather than use donations) such as a very cheap vps for our status.lemmy.zip page and i got a 3 year deal for an external email provider for less than some email providers wanted a month.

Our server is the same one feddit.uk use (a hetzner auction server) although lemmy.zips I think was a touch more expensive per month. But it’s got a lot of room for growth.

Also we now host all our backups offside too, which adds a little on top. I’ll probably cover this in the next server update.
