Seriously, who under 30 or even 40 uses email for communicating with people on a regular basis? Email for me is just for two-factor authentication, notifications for everything that isn’t installed as an app on my phone, and spam. I barely ever send anything to anybody. My “sent” folder has maybe 100 things in there from the last 10 years.

Also, it’s not about them replying, it’s about sending a message. They need a signal to see how people are responding to things. A finger on the pulse so to speak. Right now, they only get signals from nutters on Xitter and geriatrics on Facebook. Politics are a big subject on the fediverse and beyond, but politicians barely ever know of it unless a news article comes out about it. Maybe they pay some company to do analysis of what people are saying (Cambridge Analytica), but they aren’t directly exposed to it.

Politicians were surprised during the chat control vote when they suddenly got emails thanks to https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ and were saying “it’s undemocratic”. That was however exactly how democracy should work: they suddenly “heard” the voices of people, not lobbyists and were flabberghasted by the fact. We need more people in the face of politicians, virtually and physically.

Dating apps are brutal for men, especially 4channers.

About fucking time. Fat pricks like Orban shouldn’t be able to hold up 26 other nations because of their extra-national dick-sucking abilities.

I see, that’s understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it’s very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.

USAian defaultism is always hilarious

Not to take away from the achievement, but how long can heat be stored though? Isn’t pumped hydro a better solution?

How am I not on it? I literally mod !twnw@fedia.io and it’s just about taxing the rich and billionaires. Guess I need to be more active there.

Thanks. I don’t know why the survey didn’t just show all and then give you the option to give your opinion all at once, nor why they didn’t link to this page.

That, I can agree with. I don’t know why the picked birds.

Abstract doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t evoke any feeling or being European or make it stand out as a European bank note. It could be money from some children’s game set.

House cats are an invasive species that kill all the birds. Hardly an animal worth putting on a bill. Large cats were however once native to Europe, which is why you see so many lion crests, but putting that on there would hardly seem progressive.

There’s a character limit, unfortunately, and I could not fit them all there.

Never mind, the ECB announced who they are

Maria Callas isn’t even European by birth. She’s born in the USA.

~~The survey isn’t good. They should’ve at least written a comment about each note. I don’t recognise most of the people on there. ~~

Maybe y’all can help out.

Here are all the proposals until G. H and I are here (or see comment below).

Is this guy also going to tax the rich? That would be a game changer. #TaxWealthNotWork !twnw@fedia.io

Small steps :)

Thinking they’re meaningless, is a problem. Stop trying to talk people out making small changes. You’re an issue.
