Good afternoon, we are thinking of moving to Lesser Poland (edited, was Silesia, apologies) and like the area east of Krakow, around Bald Mountain where we spent a very nice holiday.

I could not find any information on coal mines near Lysa Gora with regards to subsidence.

Can anyone recommend a website, map or does anyone know the area who has information on mining activity there?

Thank you.

Hello guys, I’m a student who wants to do a master’s degree in International Relations, and I wanted to ask if the University of Warsaw is good. I really want to study in a Slavic country, and I think Warsaw is the best option because it’s part of Europe. I’m also learning Russian. Do you think it’s good for daily life?

For over 39 Years- singles in PL can go trough adoption process. Now we have some morrons... ekh... some political clowns who try to ban this.

Why you ask? Because they knew that is way for LGBT people to adopt kids. They dont hide that is they reason.

BC of that law exist in PL- all that arguments about ,,we cant allow gay couples adopt bc kids need both genders as parrents'' are simply invalid (they are invalid for more reasons, but that is one from our current law pov).

I have fear that Tusk can aprovved this project bc is for his favour now. He even last time talk about how transcription of marriages are not= right to adopt (obviously he lie bc you can adopt even if you are single- marriage is not needed)

I swear- if this gov do make that project pass- i will protest against it, even alone.

I don’t know who you are.
I will probably never know your name, your face, or where exactly in Poland you live but you saved my mother’s life.

Somewhere in Poland, a person decided to become a bone marrow donor, and because of that decision, my mom got a second chance at life after her transplant. There are no words big enough for the gratitude our family feels.

You gave hope back to a family that was living in fear for a very long time. You gave us more birthdays, more conversations, more memories, more time together.

Whoever you are, please know that in Hungary there is a family thinking about you with endless gratitude and love.

Thank you for your kindness, your courage, and your humanity.
You changed our lives forever.

My 10-year Vinted account was permanently banned after I listed a CHILDREN’S TOY bow with suction-cup arrows.

Children toy from Decathlon

Vinted classified it as a weapon and permanently suspended my account. Their own notice literally says: “This content was detected automatically.”

I appealed multiple times and only received template responses with no meaningful explanation or evidence of proper human review.

The toy was a normal children’s product sold in retail stores.

I understand platforms need moderation rules, but permanently banning long-term users because an automated system incorrectly flags a toy as a weapon feels completely disproportionate.

I’ve now escalated the case to consumer protection institutions and I’m looking into Digital Services Act (DSA) protections regarding automated moderation and appeals.

Has anyone successfully reversed a permanent Vinted suspension after an obvious moderation mistake?
