I think it's risky if you live in the UK. We have a law called the Communications Act which has broad powers banning posting of anything which is 'grossly offensive'. It's entirely up to a court to decide what is 'grossly offensive' on a case-by-case basis.

In Scotland, it tends to indicate your political beliefs. People flying the Union Jack are normally unionists and supporters of the monarchy, whereas people flying the Saltire (Scottish) flag are normally nationalists (pro-independence). It's therefore difficult to fly a flag 'neutrally' unless you were to fly both.

SDF was my first Unix experience. I logged in using telnet from my Win98 computer back in the early 2000s.

I suppose my main concern is what happens if a server decides to close down? Would my account be lost?

I think I get it now, thanks.

I'm a reddit user hoping to transition to Lemmy. I couldn't sign up on lemmy.ml, so I signed up on SDF.
