One could argue it already is - mainly on a soft power level. Now that Ursula has chopped the chains off the war chest we can get back the hard power as well. I feel very good about this, it’s rare to feel optimistic about the way your country and union is going…

“If you don’t like it you can leave” is such a shit argument that I keep hearing, the whole point of democracy is that if you don’t like it you are allowed to complain and vote to change the situation. Implying someone doesn’t have the right to complain or change an existing system is just how fascism works…

Since you seem to know what platform have they moved to generally?

lol what is there to investigate this is pretty thoroughly documented situation. Maybe next they will start investigating ET

Thank you for the info! I am right now thinking of switching to linux on my PC - I am using like a 7 year old Windows 10 system so I need to clean up anyway and no way in hell am I moving to Windows 11 :D

Somehow the complexity of using Lemmy compared to other social media sites and the decentralized nature of it has really gotten rid of the trollfarms and bot spam to a pretty good extent.

It’s insane to me that somehow free speech has been successfully twisted into a dog whistle to basically just spread disinformation, actively call for extermination of minority groups and openly attack and threaten other people. That shit is not free speech those are malicious actions - and they should absolutely not be tolerated under some vague guise of free speech.

lol they are giving warnings to people who upvote posts that they deem questionable. Literal thought crime police :D

For anyone reading, any idea what the music catalogue on Qobuz is compared to Apple/YouTube/Spotify music? I checked out the website and it looks like Qobuz is kinda expensive (I pay 9.99 euros a month for YouTube Premium + YouTube Music so it’s really hard to get rid of it and find a better alternative)
