Isn't that the opposite? That everything is in DC?

I would personally be okay with even more didtribution of buildings, and less concentration in Brussels. For example, I could imagine a future Eurosenate in Århus :)
Currently, the Parliament and the Ombudsman meet in Strasbourg (France) and frequently also in Brussels (Belgium). Both Councils and the Commision meet in Brussels and ocassionally in Luxembourg (Luxembourg). Both Courts and the Investment Bank are in Luxembourg, but the Central Bank is in Frankfurt (Germany). Both Committees and the Defense agency meet exclusively in Brussels. The Translation center is in Luxembourg. Europol headquarters are in The Hague (the Netherlands), Frontex's are in Warsaw (Poland) and the EUSPA's are in Prague (Czechia). Other institutions and bodies have offices in all other countries save for Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus Do you think this is a strenght? Should power be distributed equally among members? Should it be avoided that one member houses all three branches of government? Should seats be moved on an annual or biannual basis, like other institutions do?

I used the UntrackMe app which used to work like a charm but doesn't really anymore. Maybe it works on your phone!

Let it roll! But I'm a fan of pop-science and think the community could be a good place to discuss general questions, maybe delving into them if we see they hit an interesting area

Yeah. No spurious stuff, though maybe we could have some kind of Bad Linguistics Mondays? And allow for posts that have bad linguistics examples with a rule making it mandatory for the OP to explain what's wrong and provide the correct explanation
-
As someone else here said, as long as it doesn't cause a flame war I think it's not too harmful to let things go a little off-topic, as long as they have a tangential relation to linguistics or languages

I have a Bachelor's Degree! I like all subfields, but I think my favorite would be historical linguistics and semantics!

As standalone posts I wouldn't know what to tell you... Definitely news, though.

It's just another instance, but one that supports microblogging and some slightly different features. The fediverse is made out of instances.
Instances mainly affect where your data is physically stored (every instance has their own server) and what content moderators of your instance have decided to block (for example, they could decide to block content from a neo-nazi instance). You would still have access to all content from pretty much all other instances.
Other examples of Lemmy instances are beehaw.org, lemmy.blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, etc. You have a more exhaustive list at https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Most big instances in Mastodon gave agreed to giving 3-month notice in case they shut down to give time for people who don't wish to go down with the ship to migrate their accounts to other instances. I can imagine it being the same in Lemmy, adding possible community migration

This isn't just mildly infuriating, this is absolutely despicable
