No need to get snappish.

You never addressed my points but are discussing about something else.

Factual information, education should go on continuously on every possible channel to reach everyone. Yes, even 4 years before the election.

This is not what I said. I am speaking about election polls.

The media is not innocent in the rise of the AfD. Reporting about how strong the AfD is getting is the strategy we use for years now and it just makes the party stronger.

Regarding Volt: I recommend to listen to this interview with the German top candidate of VOLT, I’ll promise you won’t ever think again of wasting your vote for this party

Nobody should care for election polls 4 years before the next election.

I never said it should not be done, I just said the approach is likely not successful. I would be careful with the “centralist mindset”. Centralization towards instances or towards communities are very much different things.

Also, I don’t understand the feddit.org thing. Why is a German instance “feddit.org” as if it’s the main feddit instance?

I don’t really understand what you mean here, could you elaborate?

Most of the communities are empty or driven by a single person. I appreciate your efforts, but that:'s not how Lemmy works. Communities grow naturally, one by one. You cannot just create 20 communities and hope everybody is jumping in. We can be very happy we have some active communities such as !europe@feddit.org, that are not hosted on lemmy.world.

Besides natural growth, Lemmy is also about trust. It was not easy for !europe@feddit.org to gain trust back from its users after feddit.de failed, but over time it worked out and feddit.org managed to become a reliable and trusted instance within the lemmyverse.

Who promises us that europe.pub won’t go down in a month? Who moderates all these communities once they get bigger, that one posting person?

The ridiculous thing is, digital earnings like the billions from Meta, Google etc. are not getting counted into the trade by Americans. Wonder how the trade deficit would look like if we did that. Apart from that, nobody wants to buy your ugly cars here, they wouldn’t even fit to our streets. It’s not like you couldn’t produce something for the European market, if you wanted. Nobody is interested in something like the Ford F150

Why is the European Space Agency speaking up to this topic

This is very funny because Le Pen is not in prison lmao

I did not bring up the part about luxury items though

What I say is that people who buy luxury items usually do not engage in boycotts.

People who buy Mercedes don’t care about this

Pull out of Russia!

Raiffeisen Bank:

It aligns with Trumps well thought out strategy of saying and doing unpredictable random shit.

Absolutely ridiculous. You mixed up feddit.org with lemmy.ml

Absolutely makes sense. As much as we wish for the opposite, we are dependent on the US for many years. It’s strategically the best thing to do. I do not doubt the Fins disagree with US politics very much, but from their position in these times it is best to tell Trump what a great guy he is.

I’ll send my SO shopping. If that’s not an option, I’ll order pizza for 2 days, then I am good enough again to go to the supermarket by myself.

Have the Italians said thank you once? /s

Who decides about the use of these nukes? Ursula von der Leyen?
