Thanks again. I wasn’t sure about contacting you before, because the UK’s problems shouldn’t be your problems, but I’ve now updated the post with news of the fix.

I am also ‘Andrew’, the admin of this server. I’ll try to remember to only use this account for posting stuff.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
The “previously on …” for this drama was that someone created a Fediverse post ranking the different apps for how well they handled Lemmy’s Markdown, and Racoon didn’t score well in the original post. It was later revised after further testing, but the damage was already done.
I started a new account, on a new instance, and the very first notification I got was for a spam message from that ‘fediverse chick’ person. It really made that “it’s like email” connection feel complete.
I assumed the same, when I read their announcement. But requests from my site, for their users or their communities, do not work. A ‘text/html’ request gets the UK-specific rejection in HTML, but so does a ‘activity+json’ request. Based on this, sites in the UK that are already aware of existing lemmy.zip actors will be okay, but they won’t be able to initiate profile updates, or fetch the details for any new lemmy.zip actors. Because my site was created after the geo-block came in place, I’m essentially deferated from them (for now, hopefully).

Well done Scotland, for drafting and actually enforcing this law.
It’s no surprise that this woman, and the others pictured in the article, are all of a demographic that they’re not going to have to actually make maternal healthcare decisions for themselves.
