To be fair, I love a Greek salad, and make myself one once a week when none else is looking.

But...a sandwich? How so?

It's top to bottom mediocre. I will die on this hill.

Popeye's, Zaxby's, hell even Church's are better.

Best food I had in Paris was Belgian. Best bar was Irish. Art..sure, OK.

France in general I really like. Loooove the south. Paris is overrated AF and riding high on reputation from 1870-1943.

Would be better if this was Dick Cheney.

Easy. First off:

Pop-tarts are calzones.

More fights:

Greek salad is fruit salad

Paris sucks

Chick-fil-A isn't actually good

100% this. Look at us all taking about this and not a sign with a couple typos.

Yes, but the rinky-dink site needs to also have either a majority UK users, or be focused on the UK market to qualify (per my understanding). Otherwise, globally all forum sites would just fold up because the UK has a stupid law? Why does, for example, Ridgelineownersclub.com/forums need to go offline when the Honda Ridgeline isn't even sold in the UK?

A lot of small and local news sites in the US, still to this day, just block European IPs because they don't feel like doing GDPR compliance. The UK version costs money to meet compliance, so I can't see this going well for anyone over the long term.

I can't find the reference to 10,000 users again, so take my own words with a grain of salt. The law itself doesn't give a minimum number. But if you start a new instance called "dicksoutforharambe.lemmy.uk" with NSFW content, and hosting it on servere physically in the UK, I imagine that within 2-3 years, someone will come calling.

You'll be surprised at how quickly AI enabled site blocking will be implemented. Yes, even Bob's cast iron cooking forum or antique shaving razors. It'll be just one more way to collect data on people.

Well, a large number of UK users, OR targeting the UK market, is enough as well.

Personally, I think the solution is to have the whole world ban the UK from their websites and see how long this stupid law lasts.

Off hand, only instances with adult content would really be scrutinized at first, but any lemmy instances based on the UK might have to relocate their servers or domains rather than incur costs of compliance. The law also describes social media as "user-to-user" platforms, and I thought I saw somewhere that 10,000 users was the lower end of platforms they care about. Likely banning UK IPs on all instances would be the only real final step since there's no money to take in fines from a lemmy instance.

 

Y'all, the UK's law about needing an ID to be on any social media platform over 10,000 users is the canary in the coal mine. Similar laws have already been proposed by US states and other countries. On a long enough timeline, this is coming for us all.

So, with that in mind, I want to get in early with some good old fashioned forum sites. You know, the kind that have no app and don't need my Fing ID to let me sign up.

Any topic welcome as long as the community is active and strong.
