Just in case this needs to be said:

I have zero intention of closing down or diminishing our services on toot.wales in any way whatsoever with regards to the UK Online Safety Act.

I am pursuing communications with Ofcom, and will work with both my Tŵt and my IFTAS hats on to ensure decentralised service providers can continue to operate while Ofcom figures out how it plans to regulate Fediverse services. Other advocacy groups are doing the same. If you can, sit tight.

This list of sites closing down is a travesty.

We will all be slowly dragged under the roof of those who can afford to comply -which is not what I think the regulator wants.

The answer to shitty social is not making everyone use it. The answer is building our own.

We have what they are looking for, locally-governed, locally-hosted, community-driven social.

Yes, there are safety concerns. Yes, we are working on it. Let's figure out a way to get our message heard.

The purpose of a system is what it does. 🤷

@jaz I have written a letter to my MP emphasising this. At a time when "big social" is slipping into the control of far-right political interests, the health of the "rest of the web" is absolutely crucial.
