  Yeah, I think this is pretty poor from Steam. Especially if this expands in scope beyond the pornslop games to include stuff on the level of Cyberpunk or Baldurs Gate - which I assume it would have to per OSAs standards.

  Update: Debits do not work. You need a credit card.

  Which seems against OSA guidance

  It's more that people who don't want a credit card are screwed from this.

  I can imagine Ofcoms head exploding at the concept of the Fediverse.

  "What's a Lemmy?"

  Those are UK sites that shut down though?

  I mean are there are any new announcements

  Do we have site of any Lemmy instances that defederate from us? It'll be interesting to see if many do.

  They wouldn't need to do that. If they're not in the UK, they wouldn't need to do anything. They're too small and outside Ofcom's power.

  Lemmy.zip already geoblocked the UK because even though its hosted from Finland, a UK guy runs it. So he is in theory liable.

  No. It was also down to holding them potentially viable for what their users post.

  A forum about hamsters shut down.
