I'm thinking and planning on advocating for the Fediverse a lot more due to the UK Online Safety Act. I think it might be best to write it all down as a part not only some flyers that I can get printed and hand out to many people.

This will come with a page on my company website to showcase and explain further why & how they can join the Fediverse.

Making Bracelets are now illegal in the UK

If you live in the United Kingdom, this block is the result of new legislation which leaves us temporarily unable to operate in the UK due to the risk of fines. We are required to comply with a long list of demands, some of which are too expensive or complicated to implement for such a small website so we have been left with no choice but to block UK users.

With the new UK Gov Changes to NSFW content as well as how you need to Verify your ID to use lots of sites, I will make it clear that;

  1. The Fediverse is a safe place and can not and will not force people to verify there ID
  2. Because most instances don't count as 'catagroy 1' it means we do not need to verify IDs unless we have thousands of users (internal)
  3. They can't stop all the instances, There are thousands of instances and can not reinforce this.

I highly suggest moving your friends and family over to the Fediverse
