Hey how does Lemmy plan to deal with local laws like these?

Some instances are just geo-blocking the UK. Honestly, the world should just block the UK right now.

I guess that'll depend on the instance. The options as I see it are.

Block uk ip's themselves.

Implement checks like big sites.

Ignore it, eventually be issued with a fine, ignore that, eventually get geoblocked in the UK once ofcom get a court order. Which might take long enough for this god awful law to be amended or repealed.

Definitely I recommend to host your instance outside of places with the shitty laws. Not sure how much that'll do for you, but it'll at least buy you some time.
