This is surely more about packaging of apps on top of something that exists rather than creating something new. A huge bonus would however be a way to pay open source developers working on the tools deemed necessary to include in such a distribution.

Tesla and X no one really cares about. SpaceX could get nationalized (!!!) though. Musk being cozy with Putin is already a problem for the US.

Climate change is not a risk to human survival. Please study the WG2 parts for the possible risks we’re facing depending on when and how much action we take.

You’re correct in that large parts of Russia don’t have indoor toilets and proper sanitation. Not sure that’s a positive.

Maybe you should read the IPCC reports?

Tell me more about the US government requiring their soldiers to rape pre-teen girls then.

Or, you know, they really aren’t the same.

I’m in Sweden. The idea that the US is somehow more of a danger to us than Russia is laughable.

Let’s.

Heard about what Russia has been doing in the occupied parts of Ukraine?

“basically”

You’ll be surprised if you actually challenge your convictions.

There is an extremely arbitrary distinction made between the USA and Russia.

Your world view seems to be highly influenced by propaganda. It’s very easy to draw a distinction between these two countries. Let me start with an easy one:

Russia is a dictatorship, the US is a democracy.

Us parents help the kids skirt the age limits since they’re simply stupid.

Many of Yandex’s employees resigned in protest, accusing the company of serving as a tool of Kremlin propaganda and actively concealing information about the war.

Please think your argument through at a technical level. How would Meta be able to push posts-masking-as-users to only non-EU citizens?

The simple answer is that no, there’s no way Meta can push ads into clients and/or servers that aren’t under their control. They also don’t need to - Threads is much bigger than the Mastodon-part of the fediverse.

Of course it does. The EU is such a big market that Meta cannot afford to do that.

As I have already posted elsewhere in this thread, if they post ads as a user they would get shut down by the EU immediately.

Any other suggestions?

Please post one of those ways and I’ll shoot it down.

Sure, but that cannot happen here.

They can do that no matter if I federate with them or not.

Why would you subscribe to those? Or are you claiming they would post ads as if they are from a user? In the latter case - the EU would shut them down before they even had time to deploy that.
