  • In a lot of countries whatsapp is the defacto IM, but I live in a country where facebook messenger and viber became the standard for some reason. I guess they measured how much citizen they can reach on each platform and selected messenger based on that data.

    This is not for MEPs to message each other, not the recommendation by the Comission, this site is for ordinary citizens to get information. I think the biggest problem is why only facebook messenger?I would expect other similar platforms there, like whatsapp, viber, telegram or imessage.










  • Yes, same is going on in Hungary for more than a decade:

    • we are useful to putin only if we are inside the eu, and they know it
    • economy is so much dependent on other eu countries that it would cost them way more than to the brits, state bankruptcy is very likely after an exit
    • “Brussel” is a very convenient nonexistant enemy, if something wrong happens they can just say “it was of brussel’s spite”
    • eu funds are easy to steal, and general population doesn’t even notice, the current decline of Orbán’s popularity started when eu funds were frozen, the same cronies still need a lot of money, and as there are no eu support normal taxpayer money have to be stolen, now everyome feels that


  • Originally there were some guys living in a dorm somewhere in room 195. They started posting good quality shitposts on r*ddit on r/195. The subr*ddit started to grow, and they didn’t want to deal with moderating a lot of people so they closed the sub. Followers of the subr*ddit started r/196 as a response. Than the apicalipse happened, and at the time r/196 was at its peak it was recreated here as well by the r*ddit refugees.

    So it’s a random room number plus one.


  • Comment I replied to:

    had to discuss with admins of both sites.

    In her comment:

    I was told that you were thinking about moving to another instance. I offered my support if you decided to stay or to leave. And that was the last I heard of it, until one of your mods (possibly you if I remember correctly) told the community you were organising something with lemmy.world, and I had to hear that second hand. And then, when things were finalised and the decision to move was locked in, once more, I heard about it second hand, after your team made a public post, because no one from 196 could be bothered to tell me before posting.

    I wouldn’t call this discussion.
