It won’t get bad there it’s the richest country and has direct democracy, CHF 5,430 post tax median salary. There’s nothing for an authoritarian party to say to convince voters who are the wealthier people (actual citizens) of Switzerland

Also the average assets for adults is over $700K they’re too rich to fall to power hungry parties

Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they’re a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.

We need to eliminate primaries and only allow card carrying members to vote for nominees like every other democracy it prevents cults like MAGA

You are paying for the physical infrastructure. Your ISP connects the physical cables to your house/apartment that allow you to access the Internet. Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari… Are the digital portals to the web and search engines let you “serf” the web. We only pay for 1 service the physical. If we banned data we’d pay for at least 2 if not all 3 plus individual sites

What web browser are you using to get to this site? Unless you’re on dialup you’re accessing the Internet through a web browser that uses data to pay for the upkeep of the servers

It’s not a false dichotomy, the companies that give us access to the Internet like Google need to make money in one way or another, they sell our user data to other companies which then give targeted ads to us. If we banned the use of user data it would require a monthly subscription

We pay an ISP because they have to maintenance on a massive physical structure to keep running properly. We do not pay for the Internet, some websites charge money but Google and the general web is free to use.

According to the CDC 1% of adult males are 61 inches or shorter.

Interesting fact I found that just 4% of Males are shorter than 54% of females

wow, so there are continuums. In that case group B is the “transitional” group between species A and C or the common ancestor between the 2. I guess we’d need a category for this situation. What a mess. Maybe “Intraspecies”.

It just feels wrong to leave the tree/pyramid of life incomplete as far as categorizing.

Yes.

any country in the EU

What’s the Facebook alternative? Also blue sky is by far the closest to replacing Twitter with millions of users

Ideally it would be hosted in the EU and thus only things illegal there would be enforced.

Unless peertube has a way to properly monetize and at a much higher rate it’s not beating YouTube which in conjunction will sponsors and patreon is doing great for creators. pixelfed has potential

Lemmy.com Mastodon.com … If those were the front pages that curated the top 25 posts and top 25 sub groups in the last 24 hours and it was a space where you could search for the groups you fit into or are interested in. No more confusing mess.

I know but having a reddit style front page or trending like Twitter would look more engagefull.

Email is a utility 💀 not a social platform
