@Sunshine Hello, Romanian here:

  • Anything made by Kandia dulce such as the ROM chocolate (literally a rum chocolate bar);
  • Drinks made by Merlin's Beverages, like Pop Cola - check out https://merlinsbeverages.com/home
  • The Pegas bicycles (sorry, I couldn't find an English version of the website, but if you go to BICICLETE you will see all their products)
  • Dacia (owned by Renault) is a well-known car manufacturer in Europe
  • The Csiki Sor beer

Also, if you stumble across any Romanian store, ask them if they got mici meat. They're basically sausage without the membrane. You fry them on the barbecue and eat them with mustard and optionally with a beer on the side :)

Additionally, you can also cook some sarmale, mămăligă or papanași really easily.

@ruud I created a megathread, over at https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2167-82af-600d-9ea129892452

There will also be a web version of it coming sometime in the future (when I'll have more spare time at hand). Feel free to steal any info you might want from it :D

(seems like it's currently down though)

@alado just thought you wouldn't like it or something, lol. I actually already deleted it on my end in Friendica, but seems like the request hasn't reached this server yet lol.

Yeah, tbh, my parents also lived in a brutal dictatorship, cut off from the rest of the world and lied by their totalitarian government. So I kinda understand that you are now the ones listening to Radio Free Europe with the volume low under a blanket, so-to-say.

Peace and freedom to us all, indeed, and may the next Christmas get us another dictator at the firing squad!

@JupiterRowland Holly hell, why did they shut down?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

@alado Oh, wow. I wasn't expecting this. I just found it funny that the last free space out there was in Russia, haha. Now it all makes sense. If you want, I'll delete my post.

I do hope more free spaces will appear in Russia and things will cool down around the world!

All the best, take care!

@Zero22xx No worries! Whatever fits you best! :D I'm happy you found a place around here!

Hope Zuck doesn't create another streisand with this one, like he did with Pixelfed (or maybe I hope he does, idk)

I'll have a shot with you too. Or maybe two shots. Or maybe whatever gets me to hospital in coma (jk).

@Zero22xx Friendica is more personal so to say... idk how to put it. It is more like Facebook :D You'll likely find your way.

And another small thing for me (that can be easily fixed by styles and apps) is no apparent dark mode.

Go to Settings>Display>Custom theme settings, then click the drop-down on appearance (should be the second item).

If you're using the Vier theme instead of Frio, scroll down to Theme settings and select the drop down next to "set style".

@Zero22xx It depends. What use case did you have in mind?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (6 children)

@Zero22xx There are multiple Friendica instances. You can check them in the Friendica Directory (in the servers section) or other more global lists of Fediverse servers like the-federation.info, FediDB etc. Friendica has groups too, but besides the [email protected] (or probably even the [email protected] one) they're pretty much lacking activity (you're still free to post anyway, there are plenty of them).

If you need some help, you can also post on the former one by creating a regular post and mentioning the group with "!" or "@". I have also created a megathread with various resources and a small Q&A (it's actually vice-versa tbh, since the Q&A took the most space on it, but I digress) in order to get yourself started: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2167-82af-600d-9ea129892452

@Fitik So the only chance of Diaspora to survive is for Friendica to grow. Just like it happened with Mastodon back in the day, and I could see anything I wanted.
