  • Not a twitter/x or bluesky user, never really my type of preferred social media. So I wouldn’t miss it.

    However we must realize the most crucial factor about X in Europe, the fact that it’s a clearly compromised and biased network, highly subject to corruption, division and disinformation.

    Would the average person participate and support X if it was owned by a russian oligarch? And that russian propaganda was quite obvious within the social platform?

    Some would, sure, but the majority would mistrust it and be far more critical about potentially false information.

    So yeah, it should be categorically banned from EU nations. Not because I hate it, but because of the dangers of division it represents to our society. Specially when for those who like X-style platforms there’s already “non-regime” alternatives.


  • As portuguese I’m proud of my country for doing that. I hope this is the start of a more active role within EU, especially because we’ve been sitting too comfortably as a nation. Also because we’re the closest ones to the US and the west EU entry point.

    Needless to be said, before the “acshually” movement starts saying “they didn’t have an F-35 order”, they did have the intention to buy them, just like the old F-16’s.

    Regardless, Trump is an immature toddler who puts up tariffs against other nations and as soon as they counter him he immediately removes them and starts crying about unfairness.

    In his case “not buying the planned F-35’s” pretty much = “Blowing up purchased and delivered F-35’s to send a message”.





  • Hi! Great to be here, thanks! First Lemmy post ever, too.

    I’m sure I’m not the first one in this Reddit exodus to mention this, but can we assume maybe there’s an interest in refining the Lemmy experience to be a bit more streamlined and user friendly? As in, simpler to navigate and less dependent in tech-saviness.

    For example, I had some confusion just to create my Lemmy account, or even download and sign-in to the Jerboa app. There’s many Lemmy related pages and apps, which can be quite confusing and discouraging for most users showing interest in moving over. And I do consider myself tech-savvy, so I’m sure most people I know would just give up on it.

    I know this is a somewhat sudden and unexpected move, and the last thing I want is to create unnecessary pressure on Lemmy, as these things take time, naturally.

    Anyways I wish you well, and lots of success. I’ll try my best and make this platform my main reddit-like one.
