On Raccoon you can see the list of communities of an instance in the “Instance details” page, which can be accessed from the top bar menu in the community detail screen.

Moreover, you can explore instances in guest mode, both from user detail and community detail.

What astonishes me the most is that the European Union is doing nothing to prevent citizens’ civil rights and freedom from being eroded. The EU has proven completely useless.

I’m from Italy, I can assure you are not alone 😅

I live in a country with an oppressive government who discriminates people based on race, religion, sexual orientation and already blatantly favours the wealthy with total impunity. Nothing can be worse than this.

Am I allowed to say that I trust US Big Tech Corps more than my government and my police officers? Meta still is more ethical (even with the DEI programs cutoff and all the rest) than some corrupt governments.

Seems like the majority voted for him, though.

Luckily the other right wing groups (ECR and ID) do not align with this view. The EPP is condemning itself to total irrelevance in EU politics.

Did she remember to bring gold, frankincense and myrrh as gifts the Lord?

By the way, she should remember that according to Italian traditions the Befana makes her visit on the night between January 5th and 6th, so her timing was a little shifted.

I’m ashamed (as an Italian) to discover only now thanks to this post that “orzo” can be a pasta format and not just another cereal (it also means “barley”). I always heard the term “risoni” for it but “orzo” apparently is used as well. And I agree, it sucks.

In case you did not know there is a cylindric variant too called “tempestina” which is even more awful (mainly used for soups, or for small children). It’s uncommon to see grown adults eat them but, unfortunately, they exist.

In my country the far right distinguishes between legal immigrantes, who are cannon fodder for exploitative industry and therefore good, and illegal immigrants, who are criminals and need to be segregated in detection camps.

Both types in any case ar discouraged from marrying the locals (public officers are resistant) and prevented from practicing their religion in public by local legislation (the national one is vague).

For one time I feel my country is ahead of the US 🤣😅😭 maybe it is because we invented fas**sm after all.

Ok, I think I get it: customize per-user the sorting of posts and comments when you visit their profile, just like we already do for communities. That is an interesting feature too!

User tagging is a super interesting feature, if it can be useful to someone it could be implemented in Raccoon too.

Can I ask what you mean by “post/comment sorting”: how could it be improved?

Elections? No need for them after the surveillance system is up and running!

Maybe I’m too old (in my late 30) but I tend to be quite cynical. No good has come and the worst part has yet to come.

You are talking to an Italian, we have literal fas*ists leading the government and taking revenge for having been marginalized for the last 75 years so I can not judge other countries in any way.

I thank people replying to my comment because some insights were mind-opening. Unfortunately I think that if we are at this point (in southern and eastern Europe), most policies of the last years have been wrong. People are sick and tired of it.

The real underlying question is: did the EU expand eastwards too soon?

Thanks to you for the appreciation and for using the app, it really means a lot to me. I love Lemmy and I am really glad if I’ve managed to contribute even a tiny little bit to make this place nice for us all. This journey has made me grow as an individual (more than as a developer), I received a lot in terms of support, help, new friends, etc. and I hope to be able to give it back to the community.

Ahah correct! Each time an Italian hears about an “ugly car” the Duna is the first thing that comes to their mind. It must be wired in our brains.

Never heard of Fiat Duna?

Multi-communities? Really? 😍
