I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won't do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I'll join X ๐ฌ & pay his subscription for a year. ๐
I don't think these sites have anything inherent that can't be replicated and replaced rather quickly
I mean, the established userbase and subsequently communities. That's why I still look at Reddit sometimes, there are some communities that aren't effectively on the Fediverse due to lack of users.
But yeah. forcing the entire population out of a social media plattform by leaving the EU would change this quickly.
