Hello hello. Update wending its way to the Indie Compliance mailing list now, with the world's least snappily titled listicle: Five things you need if you run a small, low-risk user-to-user service

Lots of links in the newsletter to explain various risk levels and duties, but something in particular I raise in there is that it would be really useful for someone to do a boilerplate Fediverse risk assessment that could be re-used by others, as I suspect risks will largely be the same.

oh, PS, lots of people asking if this applies to single user Fediverse instances. I strongly suspect this is a use case that no one at Ofcom has thought of, and I am very unclear how they would keep track of that anyway... (this is not legal advice!)

@rachelcoldicutt well at least we can try our best to comply. Surely the authorities will not come after the people with fewer legal resources to score career points

@alberto Yes I think also fair to say that many of those who are (rightly) worried now might be almost overly diligent...
