Hmm, the only issue I have with that, really, is that (especially in the UK), I'd have to pay attention to what my users are posting. Or I guess I could just not let other people sign up to my instance? That being said, I'd still need to be careful of what I post!

Don't worry about trying to follow the letter of the law. Most laws exist to mediate what happens when something goes wrong. If you never do anything terrible, you'll never be in front of a judge in the first place. As long as there's no CP, you'll be fine.

Loli counts as CP in England.

My condolences.

And in Wales and Northern Ireland. But not Scotland!

And of all the toots you ever see, unfortunately. Hopefully this will be configurable for the people with little disk space...

I know, but I don't really care. I guess I just like to live on the edge... I think the police have a lot better to do catching real CP and harmful people. I don't seek out loli anyway.

As a side note, why does Scotland always have to be right about everything?

Well, call me paranoid, but I'm not really comfortable with redistributing illegal material from a service that's easily linkable to me irl. I wouldn't be surprised if I was on some sort of list for the stuff I've said publicly about Theresa May.

Well, to be fair, as @RX14 said, loli isn't particularly high up on anyone's priority list, but I could imagine it being a problem if you ever got caught up in some other trouble for whatever reason (though given it's you, that's rather unlikely :3). Is there a reason you're thinking of Sydenham specifically?

If Scotland gets the fuck out of the union just move there. They have their heads screwed on right and there's plenty of culture.

That's quite a unique reason! I don't really know what it's like in terms of price/noise there either, though usually London is more expensive than most other parts of the country, except for some of the fancier towns in the home counties (the sort of areas I'm used to :/). In general I don't really like living in cities, so I've never really looked in to it.

Heck, why not? 😃

"And, yep, drawing of kids being abused is illegal..."
Geez, that's a rather hostile way of putting it.

Man, I can't believe I forgot about this!

In case anyone hasn't heard of Mastodon, y'all should totes check it out. It's like Twitter but open-source! And y'know, minus all the attention whores, politics, and corporate advertising. ^^'

I made one on niu out of curiosity a while back but immediately came to the realization that I had no idea what to actually do with it. The whole structure of it just feels strange to me.

Shitpost. It's what I do.

Have you used twitter before? I assume not.

It takes quite a throwing yourself in there, and having the willingness to put your thoughts out there for all to see, but you can end up with some good friends. Just keep following interesting people and when they say interesting things reply with interesting toots. Even if you're shy to post non-replies at first, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

The recent invasion of the Fediverse after Gab got axed is... a bit of a nuisance. I miss being able to vent about co-workers without getting buried in edgy shit. :T
