Technically the BBC are not “state-funded” but funded by UK viewers paying for a voluntary licence to watch.

I would certainly agree though that the UK government’s influence in appointing staff in the upper echelons of the organisation (and also general government interference in its day to day running) leaves it open to criticism.

tbf Estonia is a stable EU country and Sunaurus (the admin of lemm.ee) is from Estonia so it’s not that strange

Glad you managed it eventually.

It’s probably just a bug that needs to be ironed out in the new Lemmy software.

I also had that problem briefly. Tried it again about 10 mins later and it worked fine.
