/r/LegalAdviceUK is forced back open, vows to move the entire community off Reddit (www.reddit.com)

As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.

So they've reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.

As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don't take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with "Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver." but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.

Hello, mod here. I am glad you enjoyed our post. It felt appropriate.

Comments were also made to the admins in modmail directly too.

vows to move the entire community off Reddit

Regarding migration, we are obviously open to different options., though perhaps "vowing" is a bit strong.

We have also made https://kbin.social/m/legal/ and https://feddit.uk/c/legaladviceuk (edit: also https://feddit.uk/c/legaladvice)

These are not active yet, and they might never be, but they are options we are looking at.

Federated link to the UK one.

Federated link to the generic one.

Federated link to the Kbin one

You might want to remove your links and edit these ones in, as they currently won't work in a confusing way. There's still a lot of rough edges on the Fediverse.

lemmy uses /c/ kbin uses /m/

In the end the url structure is not important.

Just use search:
on kbin you would search on something like "[email protected]"
on lemmy you need to search prefixed with a !, "[email protected]"
