@nuko147 @SchwertImStein Me neither, but politicians should not be using commercial and closed platforms for communication owned by people like Zuck and Musk that earn money with this... That is something I DO take issue with. And i don't really see how Bluesky is better than X.

@JasSmith I know. IT Admin myself...

@Kualdir Yep... That's why I say compromises... With the demise / fusion of Eurocard there are no more alternatives left.

@JasSmith My DNS provider is dns0.eu by the way. On all my connections. Solidly based in the EU.

@JasSmith And you fall in trap many intelligent people fall into... just because YOU may be qualified to discern what is lie and what is truth and know how to verify sources properly, does not mean that the majority of people does and that is where we need legislation to take the helm to prevent greater damage to society as a whole.

@JasSmith BTW... changing your DNS provider is a piece of cake, so censorship on that level would not be very effective unless ALL DNS providers would decide to block something.

@Januschka @ShadyQuark Unfortunately that is not an option yet in the Netherlands. But looks good to me and I hope they gain momentum.

@igiIq Looks to me like you have to decide which you find more important:
Security / Privacy / decentralisation (Matrix) or
ease-of-use, probably a larger pool of users and nicer looks (Revolt)

@igiIq Matrix would be another option. Fully encrypted too...

@ShadyQuark By the way... Here in NL the banks switched their Maestro cards over to Visa debit cards which enable you to easily make online purchases and allow me to kick out PayPal.

Visa is still US, though... sigh... compromises...

And you don't get the purchase protection you get with PP or a "real" creditcard.

@ShadyQuark Stay away from bunq... I say that as a former customer. There was a huge outcry last year in the Netherlands about them.

They flat out refused to help or limit the damage for customers that were victims of fraud.

And that while being the most expensive bank around regarding fees.
