You can use multiple sites. Copy post and browse multiple in sequence, thereby allowing new ones to grow. So not missing out, just a little extra effort.

It is indeed concerning that people are missing this minimum of awareness. But it’s fixable. It’s not difficult to understand, if communicated properly.

I don’t understand why with such a climate Europeans continue refusing to use European alternatives. Acting like babies, incapable of thought, reaching always for the immediately shiniest object (in this case, „the place where everyone already is“). E.g. the additional use of alternative accounts is „too much effort“.

The true „globalists“ and „new world order (NWO)“. Now what will the right wing do about it?

Literally just copy paste mechanically to the new site(s). When consuming, read and interact with the little content there is and once done go to big site. It’s just a few more taps/clicks.

No? Form a habit

You don’t have to be on a single site. Keep using old, but copy post and interact with others too. This allows new sites to grow, while not losing benefits. It’s not a marriage.

They just have to open new accounts, not necessarily leave the old ones. Just copy post to multiple sites. This allows new sites to grow, while keeping benefits of old, with minimal extra effort.

IDK why people simply don’t use European platforms. It takes 2 minutes to create an account. This problem is so stupid. If people use the „tech giants“ less, it fades away on its own, without any need for big regulatory battles. There are politicians writing books about „digital feudalism“ as if everyone didn’t have the choice to open an account on a different platform in 2 minutes. Come on.

Oh, that’s how you mean agile, as in opposed to rigidity, long term planning, bureaucracy, etc. in that sense you’re fully right. Though I imagine that much of it fades away if the incentives are right (e.g high pressure tends to weaken bureaucracy).

There are other rapid/flexible methods without sprint planning, dailies, etc. but this might be a bit too detailed for the general idea here.

And develop our own software importantly

Why exactly do you think that Europe‘s failure relates to agile? To me it seems more an incentive problem, which would be completely outside of software specific methodology

Agile is just one possible way to organize things and many developers don’t even like it or think that it improves productivity.

Maybe we can find a best of both worlds outcome where we contribute to open source and have also competitive payment. Many of the „giants“ also contribute significantly to open source.

It would be interesting to study those cases, to see exactly what failed. We’re not weak and should be able to survive in „globalization“ context. Anyway, now it’s (more obviously) a matter of security too.

It’s so weird that a continent with the population, education and wealth of Europe struggles with… software? These are all solved problems and software development becomes easier by the day. Come on.

There’s also Volla Phone, with Ubuntu Touch or Android (as well as dual boot IIRC)

Tiktok alternatives can be developed too. The one and only issue is always just network effects.

Uhm all the non right wing parties? There‘s money there too. And it’s not necessarily so expensive.

Ah yes, the „likely Greta Thunberg“ or other people I don’t like antichrist.
