With how many trans women name themselves after gemstones, more trans men should name themselves after metals

Der war dann ja auch noch in Begleitung seiner 41 jährigen Tochter. Ich dachte mir den ganzen Artikel lang was die eigentlich dazu gesagt hat oder warum sie ihn nicht gestoppt hat. Stellt sich raus: sie wurde am Ende, nachdem die Polizei das Auto gestoppt hat, ins Krankenhaus gebracht weil sie einen "stark desorientierten Eindruck" gemacht hat (unter Drogen?)

Additional context: every time he points to the side hes talking directly to the politicians of the AFD, a far right, russia aligned party which heavily profited off of russian disinformation campaigns in the last election cycle

Who wants to bet how long they last before they get paused again?

Honest question: why can't both communities just exist separately? Isn't this the magic of the Fediverse?

Your biggest point is that the communities are identical in content and I disagree. Just looking at the top posts of the week, the feddit.uk version has a bunch of memes, while feddid.org seems more news focused. The Fediverse allows us to moderate these communities differently and to have different styles of communities, perfectly shown with this example. They are not identical.

We shouldn't build up just one community all the time. That just runs into the same problem why people disliked reddit: centralized moderation. It's not a problem now, but if it ever will be, why can't there be alternatives. Let's not try to become the next reddit, but become something better.

Also some people left reddit because it all became to big, they want small groups that actually feel like a community. If people prefer a smaller lemmy community, let them have it. They voted against merging, so let them have it. [email protected] is already linked in their sidebar. Everybody that wants to can switch the community or subscribe to both (which is a possibility!!).

I think you're in the wrong here, at least on trying to grow the uk community over the org one.

Just so you know, "Bild" is a german right wing magazine. Imagine fox news as a newspaper. They are well known to report false information to smear left wing initiatives and further hurt victims if they are left wing. Since the victims of police brutality here are apparently pro-palastine, Bild cannot be trusted to report accurately

It also doesn't specify how often/quick you can do it, so you could still move at breakneck speeds, 7 inches at a time

Let's just make a new text standard, call it "tinychar" or something. You don't need any personal notes when it's a known concept

We should all make up our personal character systems so we won't have to worry about this situation /s

Also, 1024 characters assumes you are just using ASCII, which has a bunch of control codes and characters of other languages you won't use. If you trim these and remove uppercase letters you could probably make your own custom letter set that fits 2 characters in a byte, doubling your information to make it 2048 chars

Yes, but these are probably also an extend/criminal law implementation of this constitutional law. Also you would still break the law, even if you couldn't get punished for it. Something you don't want to host on german servers.

To contextualize my original comment a bit more and explain how these things work over here: you can already get sued for just insulting somebody. I remember a case a few years ago where somebody called a right wing politician a "Hurensohn" (son of a whore) and got his house raided by police. Getting sued (especially by politicians) for insults isn't unlikely in germany. The platform hosting that content can also get in trouble for it. OP apparently talked about a politician, who could try and sue in Germany. Since OP is probably not from there, the server owners will get in trouble instead. All that to say: this form of moderation is legally necessary in Germany. You can dislike this and I agree with you, but it's not something that's going to change. It doesn't mean that the mods are supporting fascism, as so many are seemingly claiming. Feddit.org is a rather left instance (in Germany we'd say "linksgrün versifft") and they are definitely not trying to shield nazis, they just try to follow the local law to prevent getting sued

Try to get to know her. Ask follow up questions to show you're actually listening. Tell her you are interested in another date afterwards. Stuff like that, even if it sounds generic
