I think this is a real problem for the fediverse. Because I cannot imagine that ofcom will accept that “the home instanx should have moderated that” will be a defence. And here (and mayve for you) only I am moderating the content on my own instance. It’s not possible to moderate all the remote communities I carry.
Like I say. Once I see action (it will start with warnings) against smaller instances I’ll just lock things down to myself and existing users. But it will destroy the threadiverse in the UK.
I normally wouldn’t care at all and tell them to pound sand as I don’t live there and host somewhere else. However, I might move there in the near future as I do have the ability to do so. I might have to shut down if need be if it comes down to it or figure out how to block uk visitors.
I’ve been wondering what this would mean for my instance at !dullsters@dullsters.net signups are closed, but users from other instances can post.
