Definitely Facebook’s policy of demanding real world names and crushing down on anonymity and pseudonyms, around 2014: https://www.protocol.com/policy/anonymity-real-names-jeff-kosseff#toggle-gdpr

Yes, started using it about a year ago and it’s amazing how much easier it is.

I found some of them:

!atbge
!kidsarefuckingstupid
!cologne
!djs
!deephouse
!housemusic

https://lemmy.world/c/atbge

Ja, das ist ein berechtigter Einwand.

I’m a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more… If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

So sehr in dem Artikel eine gewisse Boomerhaltung mitschwingt, so viele interessante Details sind letztlich doch drin.

Ich kann gerade nicht alles aufzählen, aber im Prinzip macht die Autorin den potentiellen Käufern Mut, das Prinzip der Property Ladder zu verfolgen. Im Weg stehen dabei hohe Maklerkosten und hohe Eigenbeteiligung. Laufende Kredite könnten ja auch abgelöst werden.

Ob es nötig und gesund für eine Gesellschaft ist, Menschen früher ins Eigentum zu bringen, steht auf einem anderen Blatt.

Yes, a very good article. I have the feeling I have another peace of the puzzle now.

Gibt’s einen Link ohne Paywall?

Same here - only Reddit results.

I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.

It says

User Count Bot for all known Mastodon instances

Is that not true? Does it count Lemmy and kbin users, too?

From the article:

People who live with diet-related diseases, especially obesity, usually have a strong feeling of guilt, thinking they are the problem due to their own lack of willpower. Researchers now know this isn’t true. This food has been engineered to be addictive. We need to shift the blame away from the population.

Just a detail, but yes! Legislators, please help our society to not suffer under the downsides of capitalism.

Ich glaub, ich steh aufm Schlauch

In my experience, lemmy.ml and feddit.de (for example) are in more left wing then milquetoast progressives. It’s faszinating and refreshing, and I don’t mind people speaking their minds. But I prefer moderate, too.

I would rather say that the average Redditor is milquetoast progressive. Heck, I start to really enjoy this phrase 😉.

No, what I meant was a fixed interest rate over 10 years (German: Zinsbindung). The loan is over ~30 years.

After 10 years, we can decide if we change the lender or stay with them. The lender can decide on a new interest rate.

I still have my Reddit account with ~20 multireddits and countless subs. I enjoy the new experience on kbin and Lemmy, but I also miss my niche subreddits and the weird awe that I get occasionally from the mainstream subs.

I hope the typical offsite humour and the in-depth discussions will also migrate to kbin and Lemmy.

In the meantime, I urge everyone to create magazines for their niche interests to prepare this platform for more exiles and give them a homely start 👍

To be fair, many bots don’t know how to use it either.

Germany. We got our loan in 2018 for 1.78%. A friend of mine even negotiated 1.4%. However, we have a loan term length (is that the word?) of 10 years, so let’s hope rates will be low again in 2028.

Edit: It’s a fixed interest rate over 10 years. Zinsbindung in German.

Hehe. Context for the clueless: https://youtu.be/axHoy0hnQy8?t=47
