Comment on UK vs Nostr relay
Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 4 weeks agoSure, if I was great at coding I could take a stab at it, but I am not.
What if I am just running a relay outside the UK as a service to support the notr network. If this law requires the small relays/me to moderate, then they/I would just shut down instead and the notr network would be worse off for it.

For sure, I understand that. It will ultimately come down to the individual. Are they willing to wait it out and see if they even get contacted by the UK gov in some way. If you’re running yours in a VPS you could set up geo-blocking in a way that’s standard for any webserver, outside anything to do with Nostr. That’d be the sysadmin and simplest way of dealing with it at least. Personally, I’m not changing anything for the UK.

Yep, if they do contact me about my open relay, it’s just going down. :)

Are you under their jurisdiction? If not, I’d not even acknowledge the contact from them, damned spammers trying to scare people with bullshit…

I’m not. So in theory they shouldn’t even contact me, just block me.
