  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

How will nostr relays deal with the uk's Online Safety Act?

Would a uk netizen only be able to interact with onion nostr relays or will nostr sees to exist in the uk without a vpn?

For sure, I understand that. It will ultimately come down to the individual. Are they willing to wait it out and see if they even get contacted by the UK gov in some way. If you're running yours in a VPS you could set up geo-blocking in a way that's standard for any webserver, outside anything to do with Nostr. That'd be the sysadmin and simplest way of dealing with it at least. Personally, I'm not changing anything for the UK.

Yep, if they do contact me about my open relay, it's just going down. :)

Are you under their jurisdiction? If not, I'd not even acknowledge the contact from them, damned spammers trying to scare people with bullshit....

I'm not. So in theory they shouldn't even contact me, just block me.
