LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)

Stop trying to pin this on Velocio by saying idiotic things such as "Velocio have you considered..." and stop invalidating their very reasonable personal concerns by saying shit like "nothing will happen... Ofcom won't care about LFGSS". It's your community you fucking wimps! If you are so gutted about its demise, YOU do something about it!
From my perspective, there's various fronts we can and should be working on:

Stop the whole thing

- is this really unavoidable?
- can the act still be stopped?
- can we realistically do something about it (pester MPs, bike pile-up in front of parliament, get sympathetic media talking about this, rally other communities on the same boat)?

Skirt it

- can we find a solution to exempt ourselves from this (move site abroad, "block" UK traffic, go P2P)?

Deal with it

- can we find a solution to be compliant (transfer site ownership into LTD / CIC, fundraise to pay / employe someone to do compliance / monitoring work or crowd-source that effort)?

Fucking KILL it

- if we can't make it, we might as well go out with a Bang
- organize rides / socials / whatever (looks like there's a thread going)

Endure

- how do we preserver the data from LFGSS (archive.org is on it apparently)
- how do we keep going when LFGSS is gone (discord server is up and running but fuck Discord, are there any viable alternatives)?
