I think the EU and newspapers should focus on the realistic and useful e.g kicking Hungary out of the EU, strengthening EU bonds, making life across the EU as pleasant as possible, and rooting out anti-democrats.
Canada in the EU, while a nice thought experiment, is a detraction from much more important topics. If Canada had a free trade agreement with EU and free movement of its citizens, that would be an amazing start. Wouldn't mind being able to just move to Canada and find a job there without having to pay thousands for a VISA first.
Edit:
Finally, green-lighting Canada’s EU membership could frustrate some countries, such as Turkey, which have been queueing up for, literally, decades.
Lol, Turkey has a quasi-dicatator at the helm. They'd need fair and free elections first. Even if Canada hypothetically joined the EU, who cares what Turkey thinks? If they can't and won't fulfil conditions for joining, too bad for them.
A media franchise, also known as a multimedia franchise, is a collection of related media in which several derivative works have been produced from an original creative work of fiction, such as a film, a work of literature, a television program, or a video game. Bob Iger, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, defined the word franchise as "something that creates value across multiple businesses and across multiple territories over a long period of time."[1]
It's a community choice. Has nothing to do with "tech savvy". There are generalist communities, language orientated communities, activity orientated communities, and many more. Presenting it as a "technological choice" is just a meme at this point. It's like saying "I want to live Paris because they speak French and love the night life" vs "you know what, I like beaches more and the island life where people are more about easy living, so I'll go to Zanzibar".
But people frame it as if they had to choose the city because of the altitude, soil composition, which hemisphere it is on, the greenhouse ppms, and the wetbulb temperature. And then it's repeated ad nauseam to keep the meme alive.
Stop helping Facebook and Reddit by framing it as a technological choice. It's a cultural one. "idgaf" --> take a generalist website. "I'm queer and it's important" --> LGBTQIA+ website. "bits and bytes for me please" --> technological website. "I just can't stop cumming" --> NSFW website.
The whole decentralization aspect of the Feidverse seems great to prevent enshittification, or to prevent a billionaire from buying and tanking the place, but I don't really see it ever appealing to normal, non tech savvy people.
There's nothing "tech savvy" about lemmy. It's like picking email: pick a website, signup, ..., that's it.
