Anyway, in summary:
1) read the Act
2) if that doesn't help, read the guidance
3) if that doesn't help, goto 1)

And that's it for today.
I have zero confidence that anyone who joined because they run an individual or small site or service has left this session thinking "yes, this all sounds achievable, I've got this".
And these are the people who are engaged.
If anything, quite the opposite.
As I kind of expected, I'm sad to say todays webinar on the Online Safety Act by OFCOM, was a total waste of time.
It did little to explain thing on top of what was available by reading their documents.
They did little to actually answer anyone's questions.
Rather disappointing.

We're here! The PostgreSQL Europe Diversity Task Force is excited to have finally landed on Mastodon! We look forward to interacting with all of you and sharing the work we're doing.

Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use
has no venture capital investors
has no shareholders to answer to
has no growth targets
with a web interface with zero tracking cookies
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
