Dammit lgbtqia.space have GeoBlocked the UK because of the . This unfortunately has the side effect of blocking federation with any UK hosted instance…including my new single user snac instance. 😢

I’ve sent the admin an email to see if they would consider unblocking just the apis needed for federation. I’m not holding out much hope though.

        @neil @sam Were they blocking, say, Pakistan before? They have some pretty strict laws there.
