SLA? If that means something like “service level agreement” (I don’t know, you didn’t specify, I’m guessing) then I can still find examples where it falls well below what I would expect from a public service such that if there was an agreement in place that I would definitely be opposed to it as a tax payer.
And if X isn’t viable there are other platforms that are.
I mean yes obviously, there are much more viable platforms like Mastodon, or even a self-hosted website.
Is Twitter/X viable for that? They can decide, and have, to randomly put information behind login walls.
Would also like to know this. The communication is terrible. Is @20cx12@lemmy.world part of feddit.uk or separate? This is what I meant when I said it should be “well and truly distanced” from this instance. Somebody else needs to set up the UK instance, not be reliant on what ever Flaky Tom decrees. I’m not in the position to step up, and perhaps nobody is - but please could people honestly communicate that so we can look for alternatives?
I feel like I gently warned about this during the process, relying on an inactive admin always seemed like a bad idea. I hoped it was taken care of and that somebody else was assigned console access but no assurance was provided, no explanation as to what the actual situation was, so I left here for another instance. Turns out my fears were true and I’m glad I didn’t waste any more time here.
I have no idea why folk were so eager for Tom to turn back up again, why that was a source of any delay, or any reason to change plans for “Quackhouse” once they were in advanced stages.
I feel like all this has really crushed what was a promising UK community on Lemmy, a double-blow now, and I hope any new instance that appears is well and truly distanced from this one.

Yes. I never claimed it was better than staying, I said right there “brexit was a bad idea but” - it was always going to be worse than staying but it didn’t need to be the unmitigated disaster that it was - that was the government’s fault.
How could Brexit have gone better? Open borders, customs union, staying in the single market.

Do we have to only do it one day a year?
Unfortunately, in case you’re unfamiliar with UK politics, making life as miserable as possible is the whole government’s thing at the moment and the majority don’t support them. Please do not call us stupid fucks though, we are their victims, perhaps figure out how to send help, get us invaded, anything to get rid of them.
If you’re talking ethics, I think the most important thing is that the user controls what their software does. YouTube videos are hosted on the web, and fundamentally people can choose how to display web sites on their own computer. Of course, if YouTube doesn’t like this it’s their prerogative to not host their content like that.
It’s not an ad-blocker, it’s a wide-spectrum content blocker which is necessary for security.
If it were a new platform and somebody wanted to try that I’d at least watch what happens, but Musk has burned through too much credability.
Almost nobody, it’s not meant to be a daily meal, more like once a week or so as a treat.
Europeans flying the flag of Europe.
Hasn’t this happened every proms since brexit anyway?
It’s filling for the number of calories, and it doesn’t break ketosis on a keto diet. I mean unless you’re really anti processed foods (which you may still have a point) I’m still not sure where the problem is.
It’s not ablism to suggest someone might not have the mental capacity to do a job.
I thought it would be obvious just looking at the shallowness of their reasoning. Also, an evil genius would at least act in their own interests, whereas the Tories have been pretty self-destructive.
I know they don’t care but they’re also not very intelligent. I thought that would be non-controversial. The capitalist class that put them there might be intelligent but not the politicians themselves.
You can still be cruel and mentally challenged.
They got in to power because of privilege. Those with privilege and intelligence have long since abandoned the Tory party, so you’re just left with the bottom of the barrel; the privileged and dim - it’s no wonder this country is failing.
It’s like that whole encryption thing they’re failing to push through; the fact that “this is an embarrassingly stupid and unworkable idea” never gets brought up just goes to show. They don’t even know what encryption is, it’s a joke.
