Brilliant ad.
Despair for the future my kids are going to have. Roundabout painters and flag hangers seem to be in every town and village. Might be a minority but a very visible one.
I joined the greens a few months back after realising labour were going to do nothing to change the status quo. Never been a member with any party before.
Just on a technical level that is an amazing ad compared to the usual political soundbites in front of a few images.
ITT: no discussion avout UK politics or the Green Party, only discussion about federation, the online safety act, and restricted files. Never change, lemmings!
@BrikoX Unfortunately lemmy.zip is restricted in the UK because online safety act, so we can't see your post.
Direct access to lemmy.zip is restricted, but the post is still federated so people from any other instance can access it.
I'm in the UK and can see this post just fine.
Edit: oh hi cybervegan. I wasn't expecting to see you here!

@flamingos Thanks. Original still hasn't made its way across to my Mastodon instance it seems, but I can see this.
That's just how Mastodon renders Lemmy posts unfortunately, it just takes the title, makes it bold and adds a link directly to the post.
UK here. I can see the post fine.
Yes it's fine if you view it from other instances, but the original federated version on lemmy.zip is inaccessible.
It should also be said that it isn't so much because of the Online Safety Act, but because of a protest stance taken by lemmy.zip against the Online Safety Act. Similar to imgur, although with imgur it was more because they had other legal issues in the UK and they used the OSA as an excuse to step out.
None of lemmy.zip infrastruture is hosted inside UK, but lemmy.zip main admin is UK citizen so the law can target him directly. Not sure how much of it was a protest and how much of it was a simple protection from abusive law.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
