In der Tat. Der ist mittlerweile so lange weg, dass selbst ausgedehnte Reisen irgendwann vorbei sein müssten

Und selbst wenn sie das zeitnah schaffen … dann erfährt man das Ergebnis ein paar Stunden vor den anderen Menschen, die gemütlich schlafen und sich das dann nach dem Aufstehen anschauen. Und in den paar Stunden in der Nacht kann man mit der Info auch herzlich wenig anfangen, noch nicht mal irgendwelche Börsenspekulation betreiben

No, but there really is a difference to Russia

Mein Lieblingsrechenbeispiel in dieser Debatte: Rechne einfach mal aus, was es kostet einen einzigen Wachmann vor das schicke Atommülllager zu stellen. 24/7. 3 Schichten pro Tag. Zum aktuellen Mindestlohn von 12,41€. Für zwei Millionen Jahre. Das ist das absolute Minimum, was du machen musst und selbst das macht dir deine Atomkraft unprofitabel

Russia invaded a peaceful european country without any reason and is committing war crimes there. Every country which supports them is supporting that. Fuck everyone who is downtalking that and is talking about “nothing new” or “the west is also…”

Guter Plan, aber Polizisten können doch gar nicht lesen und schreiben!

Language is democratic. If people are starting to speak or write in a certain way, that is the correct way to use a language. I know that we have all these organizations trying to define “correct” language use, but if many Germans are deciding that they want to use this apostrophe, that should be correct.

And there is another issue: There are a lot of people looking down on people who can’t read or write correctly. You can see this here: people are calling other people itiots just because they are using an apostrophe in a not officially accepted way. Which should never, never happen

It is even worse:

Between 20-25% of the European population is functionally illiterate. In other words: at least one citizen in five does not have the reading and writing skills they need for functioning in society, with all its consequences for education, employment, health care, welfare, social integration and political participation. ‘More than 73 million adults in the EU… do not have sufficient literacy levels to cope with the daily requirements of personal, social, and economic life’

So they are not just not reading any books, they literally can’t read books.

I would question your focus on growth. Yes, we all want this place to succeed. But do we really want this unlimited growth like Facebook, Reddit and all those other companies? Small communities are great, they give you a connection between users, they spark friendships and great discourse. Those are great. Yes, they are smaller than those multimillion user subreddits, but we’ve all seen those big subreddits slowly burning down. Dying to bots, to marketing spam, to low effort, popular comments, to reposts, to karma farming, to US politics. We’ve seen subreddit after subreddit dying to moderator burnout - because big subs are really hard to moderate, people will burn out. They are sacrificing their free time to deal with trolls, shills, putins guys and receive no compensation for that.

So maybe … let’s don’t replicate Reddit? Let’s focus on creating small, helpful communities and people will come.
