I think you can block the entire instance, not community by community or user by user.

You can block it for yourself if that works for you. You don't have to limit other people's options.

Until now, it was mandatory to spend 2%, and almost no country met that goal. Now it’s going up to 5%, and it’ll be followed just as strictly as before. On top of that, the deadline is set for 2029—by then, Trump will either be out of office in the U.S., or he’ll have damaged their democracy so badly that it’ll be impossible not to call him a dictator. In any case, by then the game will have changed enough that a renegotiation will be inevitable.

As a Spaniard, I can tell you that our president’s tantrum has more to do with trying to project strength at home—at a time of serious corruption scandals—than with any confrontation that might actually achieve something.

I don't know about other countries, but in Spain the far right is growing because social democrats and conservatives are becoming more and more stupid, more and more incompetent, and more and more corrupt. If only they were half useful, the far right would be ruined. Maybe that's the solution in Finland.

I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?
