Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

At some point, we, europeans, need to say "fuck off" to the USA, including (maybe as a first thing) all the IT company (I am biased on this one). X, meta are bad for democracy, microsoft is the software b team for 40 years (I don't remember the source of this quote but I like it, maybe Ed Zitron) and is enshitifying all the software on the os side, Google is doing kt for the web...

But the European Union is also a very bad agreement in favor of the capital mainly. In France, the mandatory market for energy is costing EDF a shit ton of money (it was also implemented very poorly in France), detached worker is wtf(?)... and we are still exploiting all the emerging countries and poor contries that suffer from their ressources...

All in all, the situation is not nices
