Been there. It wasn’t as crowded as “first” protest that was over a month ago, but there was nice energy today. Although one might argue these protests aren’t changing much, there are still people that are not giving up and it’s great seeing that.

Honestly it didn’t even occur to me that this could be a problem somewhere in this day and age. I don’t even remember when was the last time my bank sent me an SMS for MFA, but it’s a good point for people in US.

I’m not an expert in this field, so other people might have something else to add, but my takeaway is mostly - do not rely on phone services. Don’t use MFA via SMS, etc. Most of the issues described, you can avoid if you’re careful, except the geolocation issue.

Right, it’s not a big difference, but it’s at least something. Both communities can coexist and if they have something that differentiates them, all the better. For some people, it doesn’t matter that much. For those people that do care about the distinction, they can focus on their preferred community instead. In the end (as other people said), it’s fine to join both of these, so I don’t think it matters a lot.

I don’t mind either way. If we keep it separated there will be the split of community that you mentioned. But if we merge it there will be endless discussions about “what is the actual goal? Propagating EU products? Propagating European products? Propagating non-USA products?”. By keeping two separate communities, each can focus on something else. And they can also reference each other (“this community is for <X> if you want to recommend <Y> you can do it in the other community”)

Yep, I am. I think it’s understandable what you’re saying (as there’s simply a lot less people here in general). But it’s always good to see a “local” “face” :)

I did the same and so far I’m satisfied. Browsing here makes me feel the “old internet” feeling.
