@alienghic@timeloop.cafe @Mimesatwork@wandering.shop @danirabbit@mastodon.online Land of the free... Up until about a year ago, I saw Europe as the last bastion of actual freedom (although we have more restrictions on free speech and I was threatened with cops for things I said online by people who were provably abuser-types and flying monkeys). With the latest wave of restrictions like chat control and age checks, I don't think there's anywhere left.
