It’s still a major warehouse for data and a central hub for social research.
Case in point, my wife was trying to get her Italian birthright citizenship registered (because America isn’t looking so hot right now).

I think you’re just fundamentally misunderstanding the point, almost seems like you’re doubling down just to be annoying because it brings you joy.
Well, you’ve never posted or commented anything I care about, so block it is, goodbye
