Ce să vă zic, mă, bine ați venit? bine ați venit, rău ați nimerit. La locu’ ăsta îi zice șerpărie, de la șerpii care umblă pe-aicea. Dracu’ știe cum au ajuns…
@MrAlagos Guess I found some reputable news outlets.
Edit: Thanks Captain Obvious for the endorsement (whoever upvoted/liked knows).
lemm.ee seems like a better choice indeed. But, you do you.
@EvilCartyen wow, does this thing actually exist? Lol
It would actually be kinda cool to have something like a feddit.eu server where communities from all across Europe/the EU can reside. But I am not against a move to .org either, except for the fact that they label themselves an English-German speaking community. I am not German. 😁
@Protoman64 Kbin has a separate interface for microblogging and groups, that’s why it’s not that obvious. For Lemmy, well, there’s no type of blogging to begin with.
Friendica really shines in this regard, as it has the ability to interact with both groups and regular people in the same feed, while the posts are also clearly marked as such. 😁
Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition Philippines soldiers.
No worries! Also from Friendica
@0x815 well, if only there was a green deal or something forcing people to buy EVs to consume the extra energy… Oh, wait.
For political issues, you should petition governments directly on issues.
Not sure if this is a great alternative. This is a thing that is totally dependent from country to country. In my country, there is no such platform that I’m aware of (on the local or national level at least. Ok, I may petition the EU, but they may just have no responsibility into my matters).
Many institutions do have email addresses though, and if, for example, you have a website, you can write an email template and point to an institution where people could send that email. Even that I don’t know how feasible it could be, but it could be more doable in more parts of the world, I think.
Otherwise, for Romania there is declic.ro, a platform owned by an NGO who relies solely on donations to run it, and also runs its own campaigns.
@anzo This is the only possible/feasible way I could take an international train. Never did so far, because I would have to spare a couple of days for the train route, and it is also a bit pricey for me to travel abroad. I think I would start off with an internal route, from my corner of this country to a different one, just so I can get accustomed to sleeping in a night train.
@Servais I’d love to do this once, but this is not practical at all where I live in order to do it more often, because I live in one of the countries marked with a shade of red on this map (in S-E Europe). And that is not taking into account various incidents that can occur with the locomotive and/or other rolling stock.
Train travels inside the country are indeed doable, and many people take them, but the speed is so low that for longer distances it is rather more feasible to travel by plane in a couple of hours than take one full day for each trip.
@hsr I voted as well. Kinda sad that my favorite party didn’t make it to the parliament, but it seems the vote was stolen. People will go out and protest on this, and ask for the votes to be counted again.
@Barbarian Instructions unclear. Your vote was stolen and not just AUR but SOS as well is in the EU Parliament.
Muie PSD forever and ever!
@hedge Right now, most Fediverse projects are analogies of their centralized counterparts, albeit with some differences (e.g. you can add a title to Friendica posts, but not on the Facebook ones. You can add inline media to Friendica posts and comments, on Facebook you can’t etc.), so you can take that in a way. A short answer to your question would be the one in the first comment of the post:
Interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon doesn’t work well because the two services structure their content differently. Lemmy is community based and Mastodon is user based. Lemmy doesn’t have a mechanism to follow an individual user, and Mastodon doesn’t have an analog to communities (afaik).
With the addition that you can follow Fediverse groups on Mastodon, but you cannot create Fediverse groups on Mastodon (as Mastodon itself doesn’t have any group feature). If you’re not looking into creating and admining groups yourself, then you can safely consider Mastodon. Otherwise, you can pick Friendica, Kbin, Mbin or Hubzilla (among others). In fact, this is how I see this very post on Friendica.
I think this means allowing the listing of third party app stores inside the Google Play Store - so you could search for F-Droid in Google Play for example instead of downloading and installing the .apk
manually.
@poVoq our socialists and liberals also defeated* the far-right in EU Elections, but they are just a bunch of corrupt entitled fuckers, holding some conservative views themselves as well. Hope this is not also the case with Portugal.
* the far right literally has more than one party in the parliament, with more MEPs than in the previous legislature!!!
@graphito motivational
@infeeeee curious, indeed. I think people voted for other smaller hungarian parties as well (or independent people), but these were probably not running for the EU Parliament.
Edit: in Bucharest some people voted for the incumbent mayor for a new term, as well as for the PSD-PNL alliance at the local council and/or the city hall of each sector - both opposing each other politically (🤯). Given this situation, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar situation for these circumscriptions as well, but with UDMR at the EU parliament. People are just weird.
@Servais *sigh* will that Gorbachew guy ever tear down that wall?
@kersploosh For everyone who is on #Friendica or other Fediverse platforms that support #calendar event subscription I created this event:

If you cannot access your link, just paste it in your search bar, and it should find it (I made sure it is a public event).
Let me know if you have issues.
