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.
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.
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.
streaming: the right side, most of those are country specific.
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!
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.
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.
They support their pockets
Hello and welcome to the point!
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: @european_alternatives@mastodon.social
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.
Plenty of “regular” for profit companies focus on increasing share value by investing profits back into the company instead of paying out dividends. That doesn’t really mean anything.
Edit: I see what you mean based on what I said. They expect a return on investment is a better way to phrase it.
There are so many issues with this, lots of wrong information, recommendations of stuff that’s bad and really shouldn’t be recommended and stuff that really should be there isn’t. Please don’t share it this further, it’s absolutely shit.
TBF, it says “European”, not “good”.
It gets very obvious when it reccomends basically just volkswagens and volkswagen rebadges under cars.
“Perfect is the enemy of good. Please accept this slop.”
“Oh no this is wrong”… proceeds to shit on it, not provide a single example or correction
BlueSky is not owned by a non profit. First row.
I’m not in it but I have been told it’s almost impossible to control the narrative as Muskrat does on Twitter
It is held by a benefit corporation which means they have to, at least pretend, to bring some societal benefit
While AT Protocol is sort of federated in a sense, no one really runs aggregators (which serves half of the role an instance does in ActivityPub) besides BlueSky themselves, so they can still control it if they wanted to.
Also, “normal” for profit companies can also pretend to want to bring good to the world. It’s misinformation because public benefit companies are allowed to collect a profit (post says non profit).
I still believe BlueSky is world’s better than Twitter! But it’s important to be honest about it.
Totally fair
From clothing down on the right column, never seen any of these available for sale here in the midwest
They do not sell adidas in the midwest?
If I had to guess, the intended audience is Europeans.
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.
uis sick, easy to run an instance with yunohost too, I always wanted discord like emojis for twitter posts
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it :)
DON’T SPREAD STUPID SH*** LIKE THAT.
What a BS honestly, I am fully anti Trump but this does not help at all. Why? Some examples:
- You think supporting European faschist enablers (e.g. Red Bull) is better than [insert random US company here] is just silly.
- Do your homework: Capri Sun is German, not American, gosh.
- Blueeky is NOT non-profit, stop spreading misinfirmation
-
It still helps because you are buying european which is better for europe also you called every single company in the list fascist with this logic, a lot of them arent, idk what redbull did tho.
-
It is german but pretty sure its sold by coca cola.
It doesn’t help because most of those “euro” options are publicly traded on American stock markets where the fascists make their money lol. You booked on trivago instead of some other place great now that stock went up and the well invested musks of the world just made some money anyway. Money they will use to influence elections all over the world.
My response to you and the OP is simple: you don’t counter faschist stupidity with stupidity, but with nuance. That’s the difference between them and us, not where you produce or buy.
But its not just about fascism. If you actually want to counter fascism you dont just go “im not gonna buy this product”, you actually have to take action. Anyone thinking a few people not buying a product will change the situation is a bit too optimistic. Even if you stop one of em another one pops up. You have to take action to change the system. But circling back yo buying european its still a pretty good thing overall so that europe can have a stronger economy. Anyone opposing this is like the people who voted for trump becsuse kamala wasnt any better. She was better and she couldve been even better if you voted for her and then protested to make her do what you want.
A large social movement to reduce imports from a given country and support local manufacturing can indeed still be of great benefit and can materially hinder the success of fascism though.
