          Pros: Much more features (Microblogging, following people, reposting (“boosts”),…

          Neutral: Closer to Reddit (Karma “reputation” points, profile pages), less minimalistic

          Cons: AFAICan tell, not much, the android app isn’t as good as voyager, not many people using mbins features limits them currently.

          I like it so far. Fedia.io is application only (I got approved in a few hours), kbin.earth is open if you want to try it.

    Not buying anything Nintendo. The people who work there suck. I don’t like giving money to shitty people.

      And why you don’t really see major conglomerations openly fighting back against EU regulations, only individual companies. Because they are scared to death of the EU fines that are based on percentage of total revenue.

      Something like the main Samsung company getting hit with one of the big fines would literally alter global economy, either way. Since the payment would be enourmous, and if they refuse to pay they’d be blocked from operating in the EU.

      And lets be fair, with those politicians that we have, big corps and their media succeed many times.

      It’s important not to take things for granted, though. The same bullshit that enriches corporations (and corrupt politicians) at the cost of individuals can happen anywhere with a little complacency and a few bad elections.

    It is almost like having strong consumer protection rights means the corporations can’t do what they want. No, must be socialism! /s

    Nintendo walks a lot of thin lines right now. For instance, you basically have to use Nintendo docks because of their USBC fuckery. I doubt that is allowed in the EU. Also, has someone from the EU’s console been banned for using the MIG switch?

      It’s sad how the anti-consumer Nintendo Switch 2 caught up to the Steam Deck in total units sold within the span of weeks.

        Kind of apples an oranges. I consider myself a fairly avid gamer. I have a massive steam library but no steam deck; I could not care less about portable gaming. I have a switch for exclusive titles that I play solely in it’s dock on my TV.

        So, as a statistic, I own a switch but no steam deck. But in reality, I have spent orders of magnitude more money on steam than with Nintendo.

          It is very much on track to do so, currently we’re still looking at 9-10k signatures a day. If this doesn’t slow down a lot till the deadline, we might even reach 1.5 million.

    Wonder what happens if you sell a bricked switch to someone in the EU? Is there some mechanism to make it work again?

        Nintendo can’t ban me. I’ve already banned them. I’m going to copy their stuff even harder. I’m going to make 5 copies on my PC they lose 5 times the money. I’m going to make Nintendo charachter fan art and party Nintendo music. That’ll show em
