  • 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?




  • 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.
