There is a lot of great innovation coming from the EU. The development of Lemmy is for example funded by the EU public sector.

How does Lemmy affect GDP though, how many work places has Lemmy created? The article is about economics, after all. And what’s the actual innovation? It’s based on a W3C standard and is essentially a clone of reddit. There’s no innovation.

Wasn’t reddit always like that? Or was this particular sub okay?

I’m not qualified enough to argue, but I wouldn’t trust Durov. He’s a competitor, after all. And he has a history of questionable decisions.

The whole server is running under the VPN.

to the point of being denied service

Yes. Spotify blocks my account if I’m using VPN, ChatGPT asks to solve ridiculous captchas (on a paid account!). It’s crazy. Reddit blocks access if you’re on the VPN and not logged in.

You forgot to describe what’s your problem.

I don’t blame Beijing honestly. Bigots will just run around screaming “China Flu”, claim its from a lab or whatever.

And? How does this justify potential consequences? If they don’t cooperate, people won’t blame them? This logic is faulty from any side.

I think that people compare cats to dogs as both are common pets. Dogs are very expressive, while with cats you have to pay attention and spend some effort to learn their behavior and habits. Many people don’t have time or interest for that.
