In X4 you can walk around on ships and stations, jump in other ships etc. It’s very limited though, which is a shame.

The gameplay is fantastic though, you could lose days building an empire.

Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, meta and X are a cesspool without moderation or a thought for the users wellbeing, and deserve tidying up. But it’s going to kill spaces where people can express themselves, and drive UK users underground.

Now would be a good time to start a VPN business targeted to UK users. Actually…

If you’re using cloudflare you can block counties via that.

I’m also in the UK and run an instance - the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing. The stuff that actually mattered hadn’t even been released by OFCOM last time I bothered looking, such as the risk assessment.

I guess we’ll know more when they release the guidance on age verification - that will be what kills most sites off if they insist its required for all social media

Ibis is really early days. I hosted it for a bit and had things like federation issues and softlocks. Will be really interesting when it’s a bit more mature though.
