You just need to be moderator of a sub, so just make one

No chance they will block out the entire EU market. They will probably just do the same as everyone else and make a specific EU policy.

Actually I think Meta Threads is still not available in EU for the same reasons.

Boost for reddit still works fine

The number is :D

I, too, am tired of the constant pessimism. Almost everything is improving all the time.

On Lemmy it seems the biggest crisis is Google trying to make money off user data (as they always have been). Some people legitimately need to go outside and stop measuring world health by what mass media is currently telling them.

I think it’s completely insane to say that any of that is worse now than it ever was. Luckily you only meet pessimism like this in sheltered online echo chambers, so busy whining about Elon Musk or “Google bad” or other irrelevant bullshit, that they can’t see beyond their own bubble of ignorance.

The fact that Twitter is dying or websites are collecting more cookies is not a world crisis. The rest of these issues are just caused by USA’s capitalist greed, and no amount of activism is changing that, evidently.

Nostalgia trips are always great, but it was nothing compared to now

The internet has endless quality content (including porn) for free and is still a place where you can have fun while being completely anonymous.

The world has never been more peaceful and prosperous.

I don’t get how either is worse than, say, 20 years ago. Stop being so fucking pessimistic all the time. It is what you make it.

Big parts of Europe has. I pay about €17 for unlimited 5G.

I have wifi at home of course but I still mostly use cellular cus it’s faster lol

Same in Denmark. It was 15 until recently. We also held the record for teenage drinking for a long time, and still hold “most average alcohol per session” or something.

Yet we are statistically one of the “happiest” countries in the world. And take the most antidepressants!

The result of this is that all drinking Swedes just have a huge storage of alcohol at home though.

They also frequently drive all the way to Germany (through Denmark) to shop duty-free drinks in bulk.

Scandinavian countries have “pant” on bottles and cans, meaning you pay extra for the container, but get the money back when you return it empty.

It’s Tara Reid, if that’s what you’re asking

Yes, it very much is.

I’m glad too

I have been on multiple computers. It hasn’t asked me on my phone.

I’m in Europe so it makes sense they can’t just enable it. We also don’t have Threads yet, for example.

So your region does not have laws prevent them from automatically enabling it.

No… It pops up and asks you very clearly if you want to enable it. It also shows what it is, what’s being tracked, and who the information is shared with.

No… Even if that was true, what you’re saying is “you’re right, but you might not be in a month, sooo Google bad”.

It won’t be opt-out because first of all, that’s against the law. And second you’re literally opting in by accepting their terms…

I disagree in that it’s misleading. But how dafuq du they have a monopoly on web browsers? That’s just stupid

I live in Europe, and it’s most definitely opt-in.
