That was killed quickly.
- Comment on Average Lemmy Active Users by Month 11 months ago:
I have to admit that I still go back to Reddit regularly. There‘s just (still) more interesting / engaging content and more interaction there. Although I would be happy to go „all in fediverse“.
- Comment on Reddit is starting to test its own add-ons for the platform 1 year ago:
Not a mod, and not using the default app either. So probably this won’t affect me too much.
- Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? 1 year ago:
That’s correct. Me neither.
- Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? 1 year ago:
Which continent would central american countries then belong to?
- Comment on It's just that easy. 1 year ago:
I just realised that, so my comment makes no sense.
- Comment on GUYZ VUYZ LOOK I FOUND HIM 1 year ago:
I see faces most of the time…
- Comment on What is the Israel thing going on? 1 year ago:
Pretty good summary, but I would object, that “Hamas” is something like a “government” in Gaza. It’s a terrorist group that took control of the Gaza territory and it’s people without ever having been elected by someone (in fact, they are suppressing any kind of election since they took over the power from the Palestinian authorities). They are also using the Gaza population as “living shields” against counter strikes to their terror attacks. Nowadays they also have international hostages, which would make a counter-offensive even more difficult.
A possible - although very unlikely - solution to the conflict could be a de-radicaiisation on both sides and the Palestinians finally overthrowing the Hamas-regime and any other terrorist groups, because those are not fighting for Palestinian freedom, but for some crappy “Jihad” ideas and the destruction of Israel.
Unfortunately this will never happen…
- Comment on What is the Israel thing going on? 1 year ago:
Having said that, the Palestine territory was not chosen arbitrarily, but probably because of the significance Jerusalem has to the Jews, where their ancient kingdom and temple had been.

This map was brought to you by Britain, the great!

Great movie, indeed!
- Comment on Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union? 1 year ago:
I guess they are currently at step 2 or 3…
- Comment on Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union? 1 year ago:
It’s like thinking about marrying your ex-wife again, just after you went through an awful divorce, that took years to get accomplished, which you had insisted in. It would make you look somewhat stupid and the question is whether your ex-wife would let you move back in to your former house (i.e. the EU). Who knows…
You wanted it, you got it, now live with it!
- Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years 1 year ago:
Used it maybe a dozen times in the past 20 years.
- Comment on Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way 1 year ago:
I really don’t think that Mastodon needs influencers. It’s just normal people talking about normal stuff. Don’t need any “I‘m so glorious, and here’s my product that will make you think you’re glorious, too” kind of influencers there, thanks!

WTF?! „… force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list.“
Today it’s some terrorist / pedophile / fraudulent site, tomorrow it could be some opposition, news or whatever could be disliked site on that list.
