Been posting to “Europe” since forever. Still only a fraction of users compared to that other site. About 3000 monthly I believe. Driving engagement is harder than it seems.

I have a mastodon account, but using it feels like shouting into the void so I don’t post much.

Friendly reminder that i2p exists and that you can torrent your cat videos without exposing yourself to your dog loving isp.

Already happened. A real photo won in an ai art contest.

Drug addicts desperate for money for example.

Thanks for the answer. So, not wealthy at all then. Good to know.

Fun fact, whenever my blood gets used to help someone, I get a text message telling me, and a thanks. Enormously satisfying.

At least that’s good. Keeps the wrong people from donating. Thanks for your answer.

Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.

Is that the new thing?

Yeah, all EFTA members have veto rights towards new members, and you’re pretty much correct but it’s even worse. The UK economy is bigger than all other EFTA countries combined. There’s no way they’d let the UK in.

Norway is a rule taker that pays into the EU without any influence. They’re also tiny and they know it. This is said with love from a neighbour who would love to see Norway join the EU.

I don’t think the UKs collective ego would allow them to join on Norway terms.

This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

I do. That’s the correct name/spelling in Swedish.

Hate to be the one to break these news to you, but the UK is no longer an EU member state.

Who are “we” in this context?

I’m saddened by the result. I wonder what the cause is for this.

No issue using Firefox with uBlock and PrivacyBadger. Article is there, but not much else.

I think I’d make a very poor moderator. I think I’d make a better contribution to the community by submitting links.

I think more moderators are needed.
