Best description I’ve heard of X yet.
She is just running away from a scandal of her using public funds for a holiday while in a mission in French Polynesia. Now she is turning that into a statement
“A gigantic global sewer”? Sounds much like Paris.
Oui oui!
Isn’t she the one with the big sewer improvement project to stop flooding the Seine with poop water whenever it storms? She must be basically an expert on sewers among politicians by now, so I’ll trust that assessment.
NOW she thinks it’s a sewer, but she’s ignored all the BS that was always there?
It’s always been a sewer.
I’m curious to see where politicians end up after ditching X. I want to believe that governments could set up their own lemmy/bluesky instances. But my gut is telling me Meta owned platforms will win out due to ease of use and their ability to comply with local European laws.
The German ministry for data protection and information security aka BfDI (yeah, it’s a mouth full) has one https://social.bund.de/
So has the Dutch government: https://social.overheid.nl/
And the EU has an official one too https://social.network.europa.eu
Dunno if there are more. Maybe the French, Italians and Spanish do too. Maybe a list of governmental mastodon instances would be nice.
Where did she go to? Do the French have a mastodon instance?
Maybe she’s right here on Lemmy?
gigantic global sewer
This is why third world countries need to be banned from the internet
I agree, ban the US from the internet.
Very funny
