    As said, most probably Christian heritage. Even in secular countries like France it is forbidden.

    To be precise about France, only polygamous weddings are forbidden but being polygamous without being wedded is not illegal. I think it has historically something to do with central Africa immigration from the former colonies.

    You could migrate to France and ask for family reunion to have your wife and kids legally come, but I guess they wanted to put some limits so it was decided that wedding means one partner only. Those laws were made by old right wing parties so it is kind of logical that they wanted to limit African immigration to 2 adults + kids instead of 4 adults + kids.

    Would it be frowned upon? Maybe, mostly by older folks and more traditional peoples but the larger part of the population would just not care. The problem is with legal status, without a wedding you can have child care and heritage problems in case of death.


  • Maybe, I tend to avoid big instances and news. I also heard stuff about news.world mod so I’m not surprised about what you said.

    But I believe it is one dude on one community on one instance, there are still plenty of news community outside of world, ml and (former) grad so they are easy to avoid.

    And it doesn’t change the fact that free speech != spewing hate so if some are looking for that kind of freedom, well, they can look elsewhere.



  • Your freedom stops where other peoples freedom start.

    All instances, except tankie ones, have freedom of speech.

    Definition varies for example between Europe and US. In Europe you have freedom FROM, in the US it’s more like freedom TO.

    Freedom TO can be dangerous as some peoples think that it means they are allowed to say hateful and harmful things. Hurting others is not freedom of speech, it’s just being the shit stain on humanity toilet paper roll and you won’t have that on lemmy. Unless by creating your own no-rules instance that will get defederated by everyone.

    But as long as you are not insulting and harming people, yeah you have freedom of speech everywhere, just the normal sane amount of freedom.


  • Do you still find r-word platform as satisfying?

    Not in a long time, and way less since they made this shit AI translation to French. I often find results like that from search for IT stuff and 99% of those “French Reddit conversations” are from AI translation and not French subs.

    It looks and feels like cringe translation when you read through the post. I know I can switch back to original English but I hate those results so much that I now avoid the website entirely (while I was still sometimes using it without an account for specific IT answers).







  • Yep, I don’t know what happened with the reviews lately. I know they did something with the servers, maybe with the PVP server so that might have made all those players angry.

    I don’t have any DLC ships, except maybe for some gifted ones and I only play solo pirate/merchant on the PVE server and don’t engage too much with the community.

    It is a very slow game, combats takes ages as well as trade runs. But that is what I like in those games, I just relax sailing and trying to demast some merchants. Maybe if I was participating with the community (port raiding for your nation etc) I would be angry too.


  • It is, but you have to progress a little in the AC story (or download a save somewhere) and then only play the naval gameplay.

    Although it is nice to be able to walk on a small patch of sand looking for a treasure or going to a city. It is an AC after all so foot and parkour gameplay is good. It offers a nice change of pace from being on your ship. Unlike the – Ahem – quadruple A Skull & Bones…







  • a lot of savings

    Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

    So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

    Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

    I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

    My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.



  • Welcome fellow cheese lover. If you’re from where I guess you’re from, we have a few communities for our big plus country.

    Most of normal French speaking in on the jlailu instance, example the not very active [email protected].

    I think there are some English Switzerland communities and I don’t know about German, they are probably linked with the main German instance (like we are on jlailu with the rest of francophonie).

    And as IRL, Italian speaking part does not exist 🤷🏻‍♂️

    But you’ll find plenty of cool communities not related to a country or language. My favourite type are the ones where you can speak about whatever you want.

    Also as a nice to know, you can blacklist keywords on several apps (and communities, peoples or instances), that way you can avoid the US politics spam around news communities.

    It takes a little while to craft your perfect lemmy experience, but once done it’s a cool place!
