cross-posted from: https://europe.pub/post/356053

Btw, it's a Swedish website.
Found on Reddit

Maybe this? https://europe.pub/post/214208?scrollToComments=true
There are more comments on the version on the original instance: https://feddit.nl/post/29600201?scrollToComments=true
Definitely, but everytime clothing made in Europe is posted here, the top comments are usually about how expensive they are
Some companies use WhatsApp for internal communication
The Fluffychat devs want it to be easier and intuitive ("no one should be left behind" https://fluffychat.im/)

Has any major tech company moved their infrastructure from AWS? Those things take time.
I mean, they pretty much gave their feedback on this post: https://rblind.com/post/3476242
Not sure if this community is even federated with them, I don't have an alt on that instance
Could maybe be added as part of the default themes?
