Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update August 2026

Thank you for hosting these servers :)
Can I just ask, because I find it confusing, so both lemmy.zip and piefed.zip are hosted by a UK company, but lemmy.zip blocks UK IP addresses, while piefed.zip doesn’t. What is the rationale behind these decisions? I would get lemmy.zip’s UK block if it wasn’t run by a UK company, because that law is indeed bullshit, but I can’t figure out the reason for discrepancy between the two servers. (Not that I’m arguing that piefed.zip should block UK IP’s too, I rather enjoy using the site :) )

Genuinely because I haven’t got around to it. Lemmy.zip is it a bit more established with significantly more users, so is more of a risk. Piefed also allows me to block nsfw from just uk users too (in theory) so theres a good chance I could abide by the OSA for piefed if we decide to go down that route in the future
Oh alright thanks, if a UK block is likely for Piefed.zip in the future, I should probably look for another instance.
