Fascists coopting a meme to spread racism and overall bigotry is not at all the same as leftists using Luigi as a dog whistle to signal violence towards oppressors. Its like equating the far right and the far left. The far left want equality for all, and the far right want to fucking commit genocide. They are not equivocal at all.

My great-grandfather never naturalized, he stayed in America through a green card and visas until his death

What ever you think about the American situation, it is far worse than you think. In two days they have removed protections against racial and gender discrimination, passed an executive order defining what a man and a woman is (one that goes against a middle school understanding of biology), effectively got rid of all DEI programs and departments, making it so children have to be molested to prove they are not identifying as a different gender when trying to join sports, and are going to be checking people’s sex before they can enter bathrooms.

But I do think you are right that Italy might be worth avoiding, but we are gonna need to get citizenship through them as they are the easiest, and Europe is the safest place for us. I think we might stay in the Netherlands while we pursue Italian citizenship.

How’d the law change? Last I check the person needed to be a citizen since the creation of Italy as a unified country and had to be a citizen when their child was born. My great-grandfather emmigrated to the US from Sicily and never naturalized as an American citizen, so he died an Italian citizen despite living in the US when my grandfather was born. Getting documentation to find out when he was born though.

Also what service did you use to find out eligibility?

From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.

Might not be accounting for posts on communities you aren’t federated with

From what I can tell, its uncharted waters. I think there needs to be some level of accountability for moderators, what that looks like idk. But I also don’t want to be the kind of person who complains without suggesting anything, so maybe some sort of voting process to make a moderator to step down. I think it’d be a good idea to have a post that asks people for suggestions around this topic

This. We need to figure out a way to incorporate an anarchist approach to running communities and instances. In what way is a couple moderators controlling and making decisions for the userbase anarchist?

Opened up Lemmy to a stream of memes about soil (wanted to say dirt but I would like to keep my kneecaps), love to see it.
