Comment on Can no longer access my old instance (lemmings.world) because I'm from the UK. I made several communities there. Is there any way I can mod them again or do I move them to this instance?

  If the regular internet gets bad enough, there is still the dark web.

    Maybe it’s too tinfoil hat but I worry they will push for a whitelisted internet at some point.

  I highly doubt the US government would look likely on a US-based service taking down a US-based social media site because Ofcom complained to them about them not adhering to local laws. And for that reason, I very much doubt Ofcom would ever do that. They'd just block the site violating OSA.

    Quite a few have suggested the OSA is intended to further centralise the internet. Looking at the impact so far and they are not wrong…

      What do you mean "centralise"? Into larger websites?

        Big companies can follow the vast regulations while small ones are pushed out.
