Futhermore, comments aren’t grouped in the post. They are separated from their parent element. And you need to crawl back the comment to find its original post.

if you use a client like Phanpy things become much better from that point of view. Strongly suggested

I think I’m on the right side of history

Do you?

I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office.

Ok thos is the proof. If oil and car lobbyist are angry at you then you definitely are on the right path!

I think that the lightest you can get is SNAC: written in portable C, it requires only an ngix server, and no database.

It’s ideal for single used instances or automated projects

Here some background and how tos: https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html

And here the description of fedimeteo, that provides forecasts for thousands of cities on the fediverse using a slim low cost vps’ https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

I “love” how we need to keep on studying things that are flat out good for society while bad things just get rolled out without the same onus of proof.

Things that need to be proven over and over and over:

• Universal Basic Income

• Walkable cities prioritising pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit

• Low speed limits for cars

• No-strings housing for homeless

• High taxes for the rich

And the list goes on and on… why do we make it so hard to improve our society while making it so easy to ruin it?

That line is something we really need. But I think it’s far from being enough to revive anything more than 50 km away from Bari…

The Europeans podcast! A weekly, light hearted and enjoyables podcast about Europe: https://europeanspodcast.com/

This was easy

Perfetti, an italian company, tha I just discovered merged with a dutch company!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfetti_Van_Melle

thank you! I will keep an eye on those

Nah… Missing IMHO:

• Strava like
• IMDB like
• stackoverflow like
• google maps review like

It is free speech, but only for a selected few.

I have some favorites

• https://makertube.net/accounts/michellemay about stichong, sewing etc

• https://subscribeto.me/accounts/gbryant technology and videogames

• https://video.canadiancivil.com/accounts/shifter active mobility and biking

I don’t think that Reddit is so much better. The interface at the moment is full of ads that make i confusing. The only thing is the community search that is a bit cumbersome, but this is due to federation, and understood. On the other hand the federation with Mastodon/Friendica/whatever is super-powerful, hand honestly enjoyable

Thank you for all your work

Actually the European Commission account is one of the most followed on the Fediverse.

At least some european institutions use european technology

This thing can be true an it may as well be false.

An anonymous guy telling things that we have been hearing for years and absolutely no proof (what about a list of those fake accounts? Or any analysis?).

I will ignore this until something more concrete comes out. And i think everybody else should too.

Not the Onion?

I dont kniow about the podcast, I will try to listem to it. Thank you for the hint!

Carabinieri are a police force that is under military hierarchy, but they are trained to operate in a civil context. They act and are equipped as a police force.

But the army mentioned in the news would be the one used to fight wars, with uniform and automatic weapons, not Carabienieri

Ok, I got your point

What I wanted to say, on the other hand, is that for one guy with an axe that ends up in the news, you have 100 guys that may act aggressively and/or violently. And as it is today, doctors and medical personnel has to deal with those too. A soldier would be even less suitable in those cases…

A soldier is trained to deal with enemies with at least an automatic rifle.

Policemen are instead trained to deal with crazies with axes, knives, rods… etc. and possibly neutrilize them without killing them. They should be able to try a negotiation even. What can a soldier with an automatic rifle already in his hand do? Shoot.

It’s easy:

• war, peace keeping -> army
• public order, criminals -> police

Using army for public order, why? Soldiers are trained to fight, not ti deal with problematic, probably unarmed people.

Just use the police. There used to be police posts at ERs, they were cut. We don’t need a new solution…
