  • It's pretty funny to argue in favour of centralised services in a decentralised platform

  • Although I have no formal education in the field and my profession has nothing to do with Cooperatives (aka democratic enterprises), I've been heavily invested in reading literature and participating in any local event I can find about the subject, so I probably know more than the average

    Since I'm on this topic, if anyone speaks Portuguese and wants to learn more about it feel free to join us at !cooperativas@lemmy.pt. If you don't speak Portuguese, you have other communities

  • Oi! Também estive no lemm.ee 😅 Acho que o @tmpod@lemmy.pt foi o criador

    Temos aqui muitas comunidades que precisavam de mais atividade, se fores ao lemmy.pt no navegador podes ver todas as comunidades

    Puxando a brasa à minha sardinha, criei recentemente uma comunidade onde estou a tentar começar uma leitura acompanhada (embora esta semana esteja atrasado 😢). Se gostares do tópico ou não souberes do que se trata fica à vontade para deixar alguma pergunta!

  • If the whole left had united in Lisbon it might have been a different story, still very close though

  • Not really, local elections tend to have different results than the legislative elections, in Portugal.

    For example, while PCP (communist party) has very small representation in our national parliament (2/170) it's still the third largest party in number of mayor's, way ahead of the far right.

    The same applies to CDS (conservatives), that left the parliament a couple years ago (and came back last year) and were still able to elect 6 mayor's.

  • I would like to point out to everyone underestimating Portugal's influence in world politics that, while I agree it hasn't been a military or economic major power in centuries, it has great diplomatic outreach:

    • Part of the EU and has been used as an example of how to handle drug abuse
    • Part of CPLP which seeks to align the interests of all Portuguese speaking countries (in Europe, South America, West and East Africa and Oceania)
    • Vast naval territory in the Atlantic and the Azores which have hosted a US military base for decades
    • Good relations with China especially after the return of Macau
    • The current secretary general of the UN is an old portuguese Prime Minister

    So while no longer a major country, it still has sway on how relations between some countries develop

  • That's absolutely not the case. All our news channels talk about is crimes, healthcare crisis, chega and trump. Most people dislike trump and his policies

  • One of Portugal's official languages! And AFAIK even older than modern portuguese

  • Ah yes, how could I forget, I love brisa. Laranjada isn't really my cup of tea, still worth mentioning though

  • Is it sold outside of Portugal? I never met any foreigner who knew about it

  • Now I'll have to try Rum-Sumol! XD

  • In Portugal, we have a few drinks like: ::: spoiler Sumol A fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer ::: ::: spoiler Compal Closer to natural juice ::: ::: spoiler Kima (only available in the Azores) Soft fruity taste and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing :::

    If I'm not mistaken they're all produced in Portugal

    Edit: I forgot a couple!

  • It's the instance admins' decision whether they want it or not.

    Talk to your admins or move to another instance if you disagree with them
