chore: set default instance to lemmy.zip, remove lemm.ee
Thank you for all your work!
Congrats to @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip, seems like the transparency and the great monthly reports (https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863) paid back!
Still waitin for lemmy.7z or lemmy.tar
Bit shit for UK users though since lemmy.zip is blocked for them. Not exactly going to encourage new users from here.
Lemmy.zip is blocked on a national level for the UK?
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
this is your brain on it being ok for governments to regulate the Internet :(
I’m not sure that the answer to a government’s regulation of the Internet should be an individual’s blocking of access for an entire country. Seems like 2 sides of the same coin to me.
It’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.
Have lemmy.zip defederated from feddit.uk as well? If not, why not? Is there a legal difference?
that is okay feddit.uk is blocked by my default blocklist on the router. I’ve started to add it to the white list a few times but no I think I’ll let fate sort it out.
They should direct their concerns to the source of the issue - the ones that put UK in this predicament.
Realistically that is never going to happen. The biggest issue the fediverse has is onboarding. People just looking to try out a reddit alternative aren’t going to bother emailing their fucking MP just because the default settings of an app won’t let them sign up. They’ll just give up and go elsewhere.
If we want to encourage growth, adding additional barriers isn’t the way to do it.
