lemm.ee seems like a better choice indeed. But, you do you.
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…

@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. 😁
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.
@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.
@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!!!
@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?
@VanHalbgott I only live in one country, and that is Romania. But if I were to choose also among the European countries I’m not living in, I think it would be Finland.
@0x815 Something that was known ever since the Marshall Plan. Sadly, high level corruption cancels all these effects…
It’s okay because Twitter doesn’t have such a widespread use in Europe. We mostly use Facebook where these bots are maybe even more rampant. 🥲
@maki I remember there was a photos plug-in or something for Nextcloud that allows you to see the photos in a gallery (Kinda like in Google Photos).
@0x815 that guy will only leave that position in the graveyard, lol.
And for good reason to be honest, he’s been really good running our finances and went through no controversies himself. He managed to keep the currency quite stable, even through the rampant inflation from the '90s (and even more so in the last 2 decades), and he also managed to have no political affiliation whatsoever (whether openly or secretly).
@FatLegTed the alternative in WW2 was much worse than USSR at the time. There was a lot to lose for the West as well had the USSR fallen to the Nazis.
…by air and sea only.
Thanks, Nehammer! May you go to hell as a truck driver and spend your afterlife in an infinite queue at the border control!
Edit: then turned back because you were carrying illegally cut wood!
@MrAlagos Guess I found some reputable news outlets.
Edit: Thanks Captain Obvious for the endorsement (whoever upvoted/liked knows).
