I know some small UK-based forums have shut down (such as the hamster forums) and a Lemmy server has cut off the uk (because the owner lives in the UK, despite hosting it elsewhere) but what sites have announced plans to geoblock the UK?

I see that Civitai is. Anyone else?

    Do we have site of any Lemmy instances that defederate from us? It’ll be interesting to see if many do.

    They wouldn’t need to do that. If they’re not in the UK, they wouldn’t need to do anything. They’re too small and outside Ofcom’s power.

    Lemmy.zip already geoblocked the UK because even though its hosted from Finland, a UK guy runs it. So he is in theory liable.
