They had to close down to check that all content was in compliance of the UK Online Safety Act.

Now they have reopened after making a few adjustments. Links and media require approval before being displayed, and links are only clickable if logged in.

They should just setup a PieFed community somewhere.

They left Lemmy after finding out that the modlog is public. I doubt they would find PieFed any better, as it is just as transparent.

I wasn't there when Liam was got shown his authoritarian ass in threadiverse, but his alts after do show he hasn't gotten over his authoritarianism.

He still libels me a troll after I criticize his core arguments.

That makes me wonder if you can even operate a PieFed/Lemmy instance in the UK legally at the moment.

NodeBB would be better for a federated forum IMO.

Will moderation be public?

I guess not.
