Hello fellow Europeans!

I have already swapped like 95% of all of my american applications to European alternstives (all besides YouTube). However, I have a question…: What the heck is happening on Mastodon?

a) there are a few people there (even in comparison to Lemmy it is just microscopic

b) seems like Mastodon has never seen Any moderation: even though I followed politics-related people/organisations, Mastodon was, almost, bombarding me with unmarked and VERY unwanted NSFW content. Why?

So the question is: how to deal with Mastodon? Is it only me? It would be very nice to get back there and make theiving conversations and threads like here on Lemmy.

Vive l’Europe, Vesi

Use Threema. It is a safer option. And it it European. 5€ is the price of freedom here. It is less than one good chockolade!

Would agree, but for many people Signal is the free drop in solution.

But is is american and you should never trust them because you never know What the f*ck will Trump do tomorrow

It is American and a donation based foundation without any commercial interest. It is a meta discussion if they can/should be part of the solution but it just works like the free messenger everyone knows and love.

I agree, but you really never know whether they will get nationalised or whatever else. There is no such problem with Threema. I simply love it.

The problem with the messaging apps is adoption as far as i can tell, and it'll be a cold day in hell before you can get someone to change from a free, easy to get option to something paid.

I will look into it though, as i am looking for a substitute on android for the normal SMS/messaging app, maybe threema has the desired functions.
