Fedi admins: what are you planning to do about the Online Safety Act from the UK government?
If your instance is hosted elsewhere but with users, visitors or federating servers in the UK, what are you intending to do about it?
Geoblock the UK?
If you're a #FediAdmin I'd really recommend checking out this guide on the Online Safety Act by @iftas

Question for anyone who knows about this. Every subdomain of this site (which is only two at the moment) is exposed via Cloudflare Tunnel directly. So it takes the place of the reverse proxy. I'm sure I could set up Nginx as well, and point Cloudflare tunnel at it instead of at the subdomains individually. Is there any real advantage to doing it this way, in terms of performance, or security, or whatever? Would doing it this way allow me to do anything worthwhile, I can't do with my current setup.

What apps you using for #mastodon on Android?
I'm ideally looking for something with access to admin and moderation stuff too.

We received the following user/ post #report from toot.community. The report was REJECTED:

IANAL so I've blocked all traffic for all UK users trying to access this instance. I'll need clearer guidance on age verification for Mastodon/ActivityPub, and I don't have the time/resources to deal with whatever's going on with the law in the UK. If you're visiting from the UK, you'll unfortunately see this page. #fediadmin #ageverification

In an effort to be more transparent we are making our traffic statistics for nsfw.social publicly available. Only visits to the nsfw.social website are detected. Visits and logins using various fediverse mobile apps are not represented or recorded.
No identifying information / IP addresses are recorded.

Heads up perverts! 😜 In an effort to be more transparent we are now publishing our moderation settings for both nsfw.social and nsfw.lgbt:
- List of Sensitive Words
- List of Prohibited Words
- Hidden Hashtags
- Silenced Instances
- Media Silenced Instances
- Blocked Instances (Defederated)
Any time we make a change we'll (try to remember to) update the pages so our moderation actions and activities remain transparent.
