In some corners, the fediverse is not better. Overreaching mods are wherever they can feel their power.

They call it a ‘tariff’, I call it a light slap on the wrist. Add a few zeros to make the fine match the damage, EU!

I am no longer active on reddit, except in one closed & private group that I’m part of for nearly a decade.

The rest has basically gone to hell.

The biggest ill-prepared country here would be the US.

Basically all basics for US manufacturing comes from India or (mostly) China. The US does not produce the screws that keep American products together, nor do they make the myriads of little electronic parts found on any electronics board. Without nails from China, the American stick&cardboard houses would not hold together.

Why would someone move a company to a country that is hell-bound to bankrupt itself?

From ingredients imported mostly from China, if it is like about any other medication.

Just forbid X and filter out their IP range. Problem solved.

China has the advantage that they still have the rest of the world to make business with.

Move away from port 22, and 90% vanishes. Move it up to a port in the five digit range, and you will rarely see them.
