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.

Constantly tired and constantly being screamed at, but its all good thank you 🤣

Yeah spot on, it’s complicated by me being a UK resident and also the owner, and so the only way to protect the site without introducing age verification and AI monitoring (which are dystopian measures, not to mention incredibly expensive) without changing aspects of the site, is to just not provide a service to the UK users.

If I wasn’t in the UK, I’d just ignore this act like every other admin and service does.

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.

429 error - image is rate limited I would assume, potentially by sopuli given the url and the fact it works on sopuli. Second time today I’ve seen the lemmy image proxy cause an issue with being double proxied!

We haven’t defederated with .world.

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

+1 to this. Runs great on linux and is a blast.

What a blast from the past

Or something like that

Good point - we don’t really have a space for this. We kind of use !home for most things, and i wouldn’t moderate a post from an external user if there was a technical issue. So !home is probably the best place. (I’ll update the description to reflect)

I will have a think about a support community but home is fine for now :) thanks for checking!

I imagine it truly won’t change anything. Some of the major challenges to the UK health sector is social care, in which there is very little focus, with each area responsible for its own arrangements already.

With an aging population, the system just can’t cope. Social care is already massively supported by overseas workers coming to the UK, mainly because of the piss poor wages and shit working conditions.

This isn’t going to magically create more beds in hospitals, and so the continual downfall of the NHS will continue.

It is obviously more complex than that, but finding the resources to accomodate the challenges of an aging population are a large part of the problem.

Maybe, just mayb,e this would free up the money to invest into these areas, but with another government pushing austerity it just isn’t going to happen.

Had a quick play - great start!

I’ve tried going back into it and get a utf-8 error - is this common? I can’t log back in.

Some thoughts if you do decide to keep working on it :) Could you add comments as another tab next to post and media. I can only see a way to look at subscribed communities. Can you add the local and all tabs too?

If you fancied adding all the mod and admin tools to it too, that would be amazing 😅

Wow - this looks amazing! Gonna try it out ASAP.
