I was really sure I deleted my reddit account

If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome’s, despite Firefox’s being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.

It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser “just the way I like it” found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.

“Rust Belt” isn’t literal, it refers to an area of the US where industrial manufacturing declined significant in the second half of the 20th century. It’s called that in part at least because its previous moniker was “Steel Belt”.

Well apart from how tired the “this thing is bad, this thing is good” meme format is, I think there are credible allegations of grooming?

Justifying and explaining are not the same thing

Some of us live in functioning democracies where “switch to USB-D” won’t come with an “it’s illegal to give your son a name that wasn’t previous a job title” attachment.

This attitude towards the downvote button came from reddit, because Reddit started hiding responses with an arbitrary number of downvotes, which most Lemmy clients emulate. That’s how it stifles conversation.

Is this in answer to something or just a passing thought?

Outright stating that you are trying to destroy conversation- congrats, you have provided a great example of a real reason to downvote.

I don’t know how you got from point 1 (which is valid - but do you think there aren’t Germans who will say yes?) to point 2?

How does an something being an answer on a survey make it a reasonable answer? If surveys should be limited to reasonable answers, how do we ever quantify how many unreasonable people exist?

The downvote button is not the “I disagree” button. It’s a “this is irrelevant or destructive to the conversation” button. “I get what you’re saying but I disagree” to me indicates you don’t think my comment was either.

If the question was phrased as “Is the German national team diverse enough?” - which asks for the same opinion - would that be somehow better?

This type of finger-in-ear nonsense is the type of behaviour that leads to Germans supporting a genocide in 2024 and AfD’s success being a surprise.

I don’t think a survey question can be racist. An answer can, and I’m not sure that not knowing the answer is better than knowing it.

Edit: No wrongthink on feddit.de, got it.

I mean they fucking advertised it as such when I bought it

They don’t need to scrape Lemmy. They just need a federated instance and then they have literally everything you post delivered to them as part of the way Lemmy is designed.

Please understand literally nothing on Lemmy is private.

Sorry, yes. I’ll ammend

You’re both half right.

You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).

So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.

It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.

It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.

It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.

You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.

• You started with 1.0
• You ended with 1.2
• You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1

Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!

lol no

This is a future prediction, not a current observation.

I’m not saying it’s correct as a prediction, but “where are the extra power plants” is not good counter-argument.

It was 3.6 years after? And it was pretty dead at that point. Like it was popular with a core group who were making Niantic and TPC tons of money, but the phenomenon was dead by the anniversary.
