It is, and also the most likely to join first in the future, unless if Iceland (unlikely due to recent referendum), Norway, the UK, or Switzerland wanted to join.

If the UK were to return, which I’d welcome by all means, I think at the very least they cannot get back on the same easy deal. They’d probably need to give up either their Schengen exemption, their pound, or both.

An UK being able to rejoin on the same terms as before Brexit would mean that EU countries could just decide to sign off and eat the cake later too - which I think is a bad idea. If they want to leave, sure; but the downsides have to be much heavier than the upsides.

Either the thumbnail is AI or someone hasn’t done their research. Poland and Hungary are members of the EU.

I would caution against Cloudflare, that’s American stuff

We should also combat hybrid warfare from Russia and the US. Right now that, accompanied with their artificially orchestrated migration crises fueled by Israel’s aggression, and oligarchs blocking affordable housing and decent wages, that must be tackled.

For those curious, 25 yards is about 23 metres.

The Jacobin, Freedom, die Tageszeitung, and so on.

I’ve no idea what a j-lo is either. Never heard of it.

Sorry, what’s 4lo?

Yup, left-wing media need to be more prominent and dominant. Media is a big key.

Cyprus is directly adjacent to EU member states and has a western culture, and has very strong ties to Greece, almost having undergone enosis with it.

French Guyana, Saint Martin, Sint Maarten, Ceuta, Mayotte, Réunion are part of their mother countries, whether as a full member, special municipality, or territory. They may or may not be part of the EU.

And on the flip side, Morocco once applied for membership to the European Economic Community in 1987, which was promptly rejected. Geography and culture do very much play a role.

I would certainly not consider membership for Canada, but associate membership - the closest possible - would be very much on the table.

All for it, but I think also a big part would be combatting hybrid warfare. A counterresponse to that is sorely needed.

Large-scale closure of bot and troll farms, or attacking them, legislation to make algorithms no longer favour fascist polarisation, addressing housing shortages etc…

Credit where credit is due, if it’s proprietary as in, military developed it itself, and they control that, I feel that’s fair to safeguard.

But elsewhere…

Also, it isn’t clear that you’re filming them, when you wear those creep glasses.

Doesn’t Piefed have that feature?

Hey anon, just in there, hope you’re still there and doing better.

If it matters, I’m somewhat religious, but plenty people I know are non-religious and chill. I hope your mum will turn around. May life go better for you.

I was thinking for Lemmy. Friendica also has e2ee, as far as I know, and that is part of the fediverse.

Matrix is def a good one, hadn’t heard of simpleX before! Thanks

There is no tier list for suffering.

“Heritage” “Foundation” is a terrorist and extremist organisation.

Reminds me of the French revolutionary calendar. It also did time decimally.

Hey, y’all are welcome on the blahajs too!

Oppose all authoritarians and billionnaires!
