Americans probably should have boycotted American products back when Europe put consumer data safeguards in and the US government refused to. Our food safety, our work life, our online data, our health care-- all driven by profit motive in the US but protected as rights in Europe.
Libertarian ideas are quite popular in the US; we are waiting for the invisible hand of the market to save us. Learned helplessness at its best.
These brands all still follow all those rules when they operate in Europe, they just don’t bother on the other side. Like we get snicker bars and whatever, but they’re just slightly healthier or at least don’t contain stuff that’s actively bad for you, but they’re still shit if that’s all you eat. The usual example is Fanta where the difference is really stark.
another propaganda attempt to disband the Europeans …
Sad Element/Matrix noises q.q
Right! Tedomum.net is hosted in France 🥖
The buy Canadian Facebook group if you Facebook is full of great alternatives. Yes Facebook sucks the rigid cock of Satan, but it is very useful.
I think if you quit you’ll find you’re fine without it.
It’s hard because all my old Livejournal friends are on there.
You make facebook sound a lot cooler than it actually is.
Why don’t we(lemmy) get to suck the rigid cock of Satan? This is metal as fuck.
The right hand column for “Drinks” can just be tap water barring a few exceptions water in Europe is clean and safe as well as being delicious in some countries!
streaming: the right side, most of those are country specific.
Check out my stack! Any suggestions for alternatives?
Letterboxd is from New Zealand!
What’s your experience with running /e/OS/ with banking apps and things like that? I’ve been considering a degoogled Android phone like Fairphone
Looks really nice!
Though Lemmy.world is Dutch and I would suggest Qobuz as a better alternative to Spotify.
The main admin is Dutch, but it is hosted in Finland, unless that has changed.
7-Eleven is 100% Japanese since 2005
Boycott 9-Eleven instead.
I am American but don’t want to be anymore
Proton’s CEO supports Trump despite being an EU based company:
Proton is a Swiss company, not EU
Sure, but it’s listed in the image on services.
Europe != E.U.
They support their pockets
This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.
The shareholders expect growth and therefore increase in the value of their investment, public benefit companies are however under no obligation to their shareholders to pass on profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. It’s definitely not a non-profit either though, it’s a different structure.
Bluesky has to be running a massive propaganda push. I see so many lies saying they are decentralized or like here saying they are a non-profit.
This shit is evil. Whoever is making these fliers is not being honest.
It’s more important to get people off twitter. Mastodon just doesn’t have the right pull right now.
Regardless, flat-out lying and saying that Bluesky is non-profit is a bad look.
I agree.
Taking sides in a
warkerfuffle between billionaires that don’t care about you is just weird nonsense.Go as fossy as possible and support your devs directly.
Shout-out to Sharkey! We’re young, hip and have reactions other than “heart”. Plus, we can talk to Mastodon instances and it all just works. Ever thought what your social network needed was unlockable achievements? We’ve got that, too!
You made me look up Sharkey and create a Sharkey account, just letting you know you had some impact.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it :)
uis sick, easy to run an instance with yunohost too, I always wanted discord like emojis for twitter posts
Pretty ironic that the website that created this, buy-european-made.eu, is actually promoting their Reddit community. They should really switch to an EU-hosted Lemmy instance, and also join Mastodon, just like european-alternatives.eu: @[email protected]
From clothing down on the right column, never seen any of these available for sale here in the midwest
If I had to guess, the intended audience is Europeans.
