    I’d be very surprised if there was anyone on Lemmy that thought Brexit was a good idea given the apparent demographics.

    If we’ve got any sense, we’ll either adopt wero or build something compatible with it in some way

    Problem is it looks like we’re letting privately owned banks handle it, so it’s going to probably be something that seeks to benefit businesses over consumers

      Yeah, prepare to be shocked. I saw one in the wild, earlier.
