@MrAlagos Guess I found some reputable news outlets.

Edit: Thanks Captain Obvious for the endorsement (whoever upvoted/liked knows).

lemm.ee seems like a better choice indeed. But, you do you.

@EvilCartyen wow, does this thing actually exist? Lol

It would actually be kinda cool to have something like a feddit.eu server where communities from all across Europe/the EU can reside. But I am not against a move to .org either, except for the fact that they label themselves an English-German speaking community. I am not German. 😁

petrescatraian , vor 23 Tagen an Europe in Too much of a good thing? Spain's green energy can exceed demand, country is looking at storing capacity or buyers to solve electricity oversupply

@0x815 well, if only there was a green deal or something forcing people to buy EVs to consume the extra energy... Oh, wait.

petrescatraian , vor 29 Tagen an Europe in Portugal’s socialists and liberals defeat far-right in EU elections

@poVoq our socialists and liberals also defeated* the far-right in EU Elections, but they are just a bunch of corrupt entitled fuckers, holding some conservative views themselves as well. Hope this is not also the case with Portugal.

• the far right literally has more than one party in the parliament, with more MEPs than in the previous legislature!!!

petrescatraian OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor 29 Tagen) an Europe in Local and European election results for Romania

@infeeeee curious, indeed. I think people voted for other smaller hungarian parties as well (or independent people), but these were probably not running for the EU Parliament.

Edit: in Bucharest some people voted for the incumbent mayor for a new term, as well as for the PSD-PNL alliance at the local council and/or the city hall of each sector - both opposing each other politically (🤯). Given this situation, I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar situation for these circumscriptions as well, but with UDMR at the EU parliament. People are just weird.

@Servais sigh will that Gorbachew guy ever tear down that wall?

petrescatraian , vor einem Monat an Europe in What is your favorite European country that you live in?

@VanHalbgott I only live in one country, and that is Romania. But if I were to choose also among the European countries I'm not living in, I think it would be Finland.

@0x815 Something that was known ever since the Marshall Plan. Sadly, high level corruption cancels all these effects...

petrescatraian , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat) an Europe in European elections: Putin’s Twitter bots suspected of promoting Russian sabotage in Europe in support of the German and French far-right

It's okay because Twitter doesn't have such a widespread use in Europe. We mostly use Facebook where these bots are maybe even more rampant. 🥲

@0x815 that guy will only leave that position in the graveyard, lol.

And for good reason to be honest, he's been really good running our finances and went through no controversies himself. He managed to keep the currency quite stable, even through the rampant inflation from the '90s (and even more so in the last 2 decades), and he also managed to have no political affiliation whatsoever (whether openly or secretly).

petrescatraian , vor einem Monat an Europe in Russia is waging a shadow war on the West that needs a collective response, Estonian leader says

@FatLegTed the alternative in WW2 was much worse than USSR at the time. There was a lot to lose for the West as well had the USSR fallen to the Nazis.

petrescatraian , vor 2 Monaten an Europe in Britain and France are forging a new alliance over backing for Ukraine – and aim to bring Nato partners with them

@0x815 fair enough. If USA did it when it invaded Iraq, I cannot see a reason Europe won't do it when it comes for helping Ukraine. If the lunatic comes to the White House, then Europe will be on its own against Russia anyway.
