As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.
So they’ve reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.
As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don’t take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with “Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver.” but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.
I subscribed to the lemmy, it’s here : https://kbin.social/m/legaladviceuk@feddit.uk
With how federation works only new posts from now on will be synchronised, not the history.
Christ, we’re gonna have to learn how a whole infrastructure set up works.
syncing to other lemmy’s and kbins is not that big of a problem if you’re popular, the first subscriber from an instance will be quick
you mod everything on the main instance.
@Litigant-In-Person@kbin.social
Yeah, but it’s not that consequential whether you choose a good Lemmy instance or a good Kbin instance.
As a Kbin Stan I prefer this interface, the community is new, without some of the Tankie baggage/ perception of Lemmy.
