Honestly germans seem to love to dunk on their own infrastructure. Pedestrian, bicycle and public transport infrastructure truly is on another level compared to the US. Why this is the case? I believe its because cities where already in place when the car was invented. In the US they were built for the car as a mode of transport when European cities where built in a way that was a lot more pedestrian friendly.

While the punctuality of DB (German railway operator is a mess) local regional trains can be pretty consistent and overall cities have a well built out priority, since we had to accommodate for so many peoples transport withoutbeingg able to built them as car friendly since the urban centers where already built. while the funding somewhat lacks today, this made public transport also an important thing people look out for.

Bicycle infrastructure can also be hit or miss depending in the region, but generally it is also on the radar of planners and there’s plenty of routes, although they’re nothing like the Netherlands.

Germans also really like shitting on their own country and being really critical which comes with its own upsides and downsides. For rural areas the car is definitely really important for getting around tho

I think its mostly that the other side is just so much More radical. I still refuse to believe half the americans would vote for Trump again after all that has happened

It will definetly hinder its growth. I hope the ml instance just gets mostly irrelevant when instances that allow for more free speech can grow accordingly. They might create a stronger cesspool of likemineded tankies but it hurts the overall platform

I haven’t used lemmy up until this point. They pose as a general purpose instance and are the 2nd largest lemmy instance at that. I knew the lemmy devs had their preferences but I didn’t know they would let it effect their moderating so strongly.

This is a sad but hilarious read at the same time. Ml just digging their own grave to irrelevance. Also, what banning argument is “horseshoe theory”. They say it like its a completely invalid disgusting thing. They might just not wanna be associated with the right but the autocratic tendencies are the same!

Good day fellow anti communist!

Ah I see. Good thing someone continued it tho!

They banned me recently since I was writing a comment talking about how many “memes” on !memes@lemmy.ml are oftentimes not even memes and just unfunny pushing communist agenda and how I was thinking about blocking the instance. It got a bit too many upvotes from them and I ended up getting banned. So in response I made this meme and posted it to !linuxmemes@lemmy.world

What happened to Kbin btw? I used to be on there since the start but the page has been broken since a while for me

Let me give you one example: Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia. He gave the company away to a non-profit 2022 making him no longer a billionaire. Patagonia gives 1% of its total sales to environmental groups and he started the company himself by selling hand-forged mountain climbing gear. Just because people don’t make the negative headlines doesn’t mean generalizing is a good idea, even if such high positions are more likely to have people with sociopathic tendencies as ruthlessness in business is often rewarded.

There is no defending this but let’s not pretend they are some homogeneous group!

I’d have went to the police if the school didn’t do shit or threaten with lawyers. I’d escalate all my options since this shit is not going down with me

Bro you were supposed to use autocorrect…

FreeTube on desktop and Tubular on mobile btw

But this is the US… and its kind of a double standard if you’re not arrested for drawing but for generating it.

That’s actually a cool thing. Never knew this existed. My comment was definitely a bit salty looking back. It’s just I didn’t find any humor in the post and found this type of post to appear often. Good to know tho, I’ll look into it since I’m curious what other type of comments they ban. Still bigotry is a weird claim, since they can’t seem to tolerate my opinion. Although that brings up the whole tolerating intolerance topic. I don’t think I was being intolerant personally. I just didn’t find the satire in the meme.

Then also every artist creating loli porn would have to be jailed for child pornography.

I agree with you and think if an instance communicates clearly what they are and what they want then I have no problem.

BTW how do you no the reason why I’m supposedly banned when I don’t even know that.

I mean I feel like many or even most memes there are fine, just those few in between are annoying to me. I’m over it but I was still kinda annoyed initially

Wait what? You can’t be serious! You did this instead of reporting her to the school?
