Oh no. The poor repost bots 😔

Never heard anyone getting payed for donating anything in Germany. You can get an compensation for expenses, yes. But this is not supposed to be a payment for your donation, it is supposed to compensate for your expenses. For example: Finding a babysitter or paying for bus, train, gas. Sometimes you have to make a medical examination beforehand, which also can take some time.

The German Red Cross for example explicitly doesn’t pay the donors so nobody gets the wrong idea and tries to donate as much and often at the cost of their own health.

I think the idea that a compensation is equal to a payment is flawed beyond reason. If someone has a problem with any organisation misusing donations for profit, they should (rightfully) engage in changing the law. Categorically not donating at all is…well it’s just selfish and stupid.

How the turn tables!

I first read “fediverse coup” and got exited. My answer is a disappointed no.

Pretty personal stuff. But I will try and keep that part short. She got a diagnosis. Nothing world ending but nothing pleasant either. And the only thing she could think of was ice cream. Again, the details are nobody’s business. So I fast forward to the important part. She processed the whole stuff while I was still trying to hold a grasp. She is way stronger and more mature than I. Her positive attitude is not an act, it is her very being. I on the other hand flip my shit when I catch the flu.

I tried some of the more harmless ones and it’s been hilarious.

I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I don’t want these people here.

Anything porn or erotic stuff. And those communities dedicated to anime girls. Furry stuff, too. But I honest to god can’t remember why. Might have been a reflex.

Edit: I just checked and I also have a lot of lemmygrad communities from back before the defederation. Aaaaaaand I blocked anything AI “art”. List looks like this:

That’s true. I’d imagine it would look something like this:

It’s the same with Twitter. People love to cry out loud, especially when something shitty like this happens. Look at the API debacle last year. How many people were outraged about it and how many people actually left?

Just like twitter, many users are addicted to the site and just like Twitter the higher ups know that. They will continue with their BS, because too many people just can’t let go. I don’t blame them. The blackout felt like quitting smoking all over again and weirded me the fuck out.

There will be another wave of users switching to the Fediverse. And I welcome everyone looking for a new “home”. But it just won’t be enough for wrecking Reddit or even make its higher ups reconsider.

I actually liked time tracking. It’s when reality went out the window and my imagination took over.

Sure. Why not? It will probably work like it does with US police officers, magically turning off right before the murder takes place self defence happens.

Seriously, I wouldn’t care at all. But it’s still a stupid idea and I would strongly oppose it. Even if only in solidarity with people it would fuck over.

I feel you. Moxfield is my greatest enemy.

I’m already at 40 hours. I don’t want the extra money. I want less work.

It was a joke.

Hanging the toilet paper the wrong way.

We have to develop the technology to perfectly detect lies and give everyone who wants to be in office a collar which gives them seizures when lying.

Every Parlament around the world would look like a Harlem shake gone wrong.

Oh, die Bargeldsache geht mir auch auf den Sack. Fühle mich nach jedem Auslandsaufenthalt als wäre ich 20 Jahre in die Vergangenheit gereist * g *

Well, I also have the feeling that most people here are from the U.S. or Germany. And I only identify the latter as such, because of their usernames. Not sure if I’m right, but I surely feel isolated on Lemmy at times.
