    Sure.

    But I don’t inherently believe his claim that he isn’t getting clean water.

    I’m much more inclined to believe that he is shitting himself though, just not for the reason he claims. “I didn’t poop my pants because I’m facing the consequences of my actions, it’s because I’m being abused!!!”

    His conditions are far more likely to be compliant than the conditions he forced others to endure. The benefit of the doubt doesn’t swing one way here, he’s hung it up that way. He is a serial liar and everything he states should be questioned.

    In any case, my beer betting money is on him not getting deported. If he weren’t a US citizen I’m sure it would happen, but he paid for his Trump gold card, and I’m sure they need some proof it’s worth it to sell more.

    It’s got little to do with feddit.uk and more to do with IP. You can’t even access lemmings.world directly with a UK IP. Even if you try to view this post on any other instance it will still be blocked.

    It’s a really annoying block, too. Because the instance is hosted outside of the UK’s jurisdiction, and thus cannot be held to British law. It would only be an issue for the instance if they accept payments using payment processors, who are actually pushing all of this. It’s MasterCard and VISA looking to fuck with people and make more money - one of the easiest accepted ways of verifying age is via a card transaction, which they get a cut of. Just like how they encourage tipping culture on their payment machines, now that everyone uses cards instead of cash - their transaction percentage charge includes the tip.

    But yeah, I don’t think the instance takes payments, so it’s bullshit to block UK IPs in this way. It’s a hollow social justice gesture that does harm instead of good.
