  • Giving adults free access to high quality porn in exchange for stopping children using VPNs would probably be fairly effective.

  • My response wasn't regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn't true)

    But just so you're aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.

    The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can't access the UI.

    If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn't working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.

    Hope that clears it up for you.

  • We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

  • Damn this looks a lot like Objects in Space (which was rudely abandoned in early access)

    Edit: actually read the article, same dev, no wonder it looks similar 🤦‍♂️ hope they dont abandon this one.

  • There's only one solution - you'll have to move countries 😉

  • Done! :)

  • Thanks Blaze! Will run that asap!

  • Lemm.ee didn't shut down because it was financially unsustainable though. It shut down because the admin team didn't want to do it anymore.

    Plenty of people have offered to take lemm.ee on and AFAIK nothing has progressed, but handled in a different way there could have been continuity and no need for users to transition away.

    Given that the issue wasn't one of finance and rather one of effort/will, how does charging for access change anything? The owner could decide they have had enough, walk away, and shut everything down anyway, no?

  • I very briefly played voidcrew and refunded it. Jump ship is far superior, even for a demo.

  • Been playing this for a couple of days with friends - amazing game, demo is great. Like a mix of deep rock, sea of theives etc. Really worth checking out.

  • There is no need for us to defederate, the law is around accessing a specific website and the onligations to ensure the content on that website doesnt fall under the OSA.

    It doesn't matter where that content comes from, just that UK users don't see specific content. Therefore we don't show UK users any content.

    That's kind of a simplified summary, but hopefully makes sense.

    It only impacts lemmy.zip because I am a UK resident and run the site, so am liable under the act. Otherwise I'd do what everyone else has done and ignore it.

  • I fully agree with you - I'm legally liable though under the act and am not risking fines.

  • Wow, that's amazing 🥲

  • These days, join-lemmy is pretty good at narrowing down instances to match your likes.

  • Ahh, this is really sad. Lemm.ee was always an instance that shined brightly, and @sunaurus@lemm.ee has helped me out a couple of times.

    Sad day indeed.

  • We haven't defederated with .world.

  • This game defined my childhood. Guess its time to relive it.
