I would say no, but maybe the other mods here feel different?

Kinda funny how for both Spain and Portugal the images are not from the continental area they are superimposed on.

It's just not cost competitive at all anymore.

One can argue about having a disposable second stage (like Falcon-9) vs. full re-usability (like the upcoming Starship), as the latter is not very efficient fuel wise. But not having a reusable first stage just makes it way too expensive to be able to compete in the currently market dominated by the Falcon-9.

poVoq OP , vor 3 Tagen

Yeah, it's fun and quite convenient.

poVoq OP , vor 2 Tagen

It probably isn't the best use of the city's funds, but given the specific geography of the city, using the space above the river that runs along the entire narrow valley that makes up most of Wuppertal, it does make some sense.

Will probably be again this malicious compliance of "only if you mail-order this 799€ tool for it" 😒 Oh and the battery itself costs more then the phone itself is still worth and of course no 3rd party batteries work.

Would you rather some unelected general has the final say?

poVoq Mod , vor 5 Tagen

Well, what you will get is a "reactionary, hateful, nationalist" that is in addition unelected and largely unaccountable. Have fun with the inevitable military coup.

poVoq OP Mod , vor 7 Tagen

I locked the community, so no new posts can be made, only comments.

poVoq OP Mod , vor 6 Tagen

You complain about the smokers and then want even more French people there? 🙄

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

These statistic say little as the German police does not properly distinguish between antisemitism and anti-zionism.

But regardless, if you are so extreme in your views that you can't accept the existence of the state of Israel in some shape or form, you are probably not a good fit for German society.

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

Lol what?

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

As anarchists refuse the legitimacy of the state in general, they will have no problem to just fake it 😎

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

It is not even closely the same by any definition.

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

The question doesn't ask if you support the current state of Israel though.

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

Incidence does not mean "beating up" someone. Spray painting "stop the genocide in Gaza" is sometimes counted as an "antisemitic incidence" in Germany.

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

I specifically responded to your last sentence. If you are OK with for example Israel in the UN recognised borders of 1947, then you don't deny the right of the state of Israel to exist, which is all that is being asked for.

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

It is quite reductive to say anti-zionism is just denying the right of Israel to exist. Yes, the state of Israel is a deeply zionist project but you can accept the reality of this state existing and still be opposed to the idea of zionism in general.

I am opposed to the idea of colonialism in general but still accept the existence of states with a colonial history.

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

Fine, you are of course technically correct 🙄

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

As long as there are other dedicated mods, sure 😊

poVoq Mod , vor 7 Tagen

It's not that bad, but you need to at least skim most of the discussions as reports often fail to work due to federation issues or are only made after the comment section is a troll-party already.

Also be ready for some unpleasant DMs questioning your moderation decisions on really spurious grounds.

This English speaking “europe@feddit.de” was always a bit out of place on a primarily German speaking instance. The same would be true for feddit.org, I guess. Maybe we should just depreciate this community and see if another English speaking Europe community takes over? As long as it isn’t the one on lemmy.ml (which has major moderation issues), I think I would be fine with that. I only stepped up moderating it on feddit.de because it was very active at the time and the previous mod stepped down.

poVoq Mod , vor 10 Tagen (Bearbeitet vor 10 Tagen)

There is /c/yurop@lemm.ee

Edit: the problem with lemm.ee is that their block-list lacks some instances that are likely to be problematic for this community specifically, as seen on the lemmy.ml equivalent.

poVoq Mod , vor 10 Tagen

I didn't create this community, but there is another German speaking "europa" community on feddit.de and this one was as far as I know always near 100% English.

poVoq Mod , vor 10 Tagen

The community on lemmy.ml has the problem that there are some very persistent users that constantly post pro-Russian propaganda or similar mis-information to it, and the lemmy.ml admins refuse to appoint a new mod and seem to be generally fine with that. I certainly wouldn't want to moderate a similar community where Hexbear and Lemmygrad users have full access to like they would on lemm.ee. if fact I wouldn't even be able to as my home instance is defederated from these instances and thus such posts would be invisible to me.

poVoq Mod , vor 10 Tagen

If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.

I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.

poVoq Mod , vor 9 Tagen

I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn't on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.

If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.

Who are those 50.000 that went from green party to afd? What kind of reason could there possibly be for that?

Misguided pacifists that believe that the AfD would negotiate a peace deal with Putin in Ukraine. I personally know some like that... who just barely stopped short of admitting they considered voting for the AfD because of that.

poVoq Mod , vor 21 Tagen

Sure, mostly. But especially in east Germany there are some with a deep aversion against voting for "communists", which is why they voted Green and not LINKE before.

poVoq OP Mod , vor 22 Tagen

Yeah, true. But relative to other EU countries it's good news that significantly less people voted for them.

I guess it also shows that people do make a bit more of a distinction between national and EU elections.

poVoq Mod , vor 23 Tagen

The only valid answer is Portugal 😅

poVoq Mod , vor 29 Tagen

nobody is trying to kill me because I say Nazis are bad

That is demonstratably false, people get attacked and killed for saying exactly that.

You really need to get out of your right-wing media bubble.

And the Boeing whistleblowers suspiciously died recently 🤔

poVoq Mod , vor 29 Tagen

Look up extreme right-wing murders, they are significantly more than islamist ones in Europe.

Brevik alone probably killed more people than all islamists (in Europe) in the same year combined.

poVoq Mod , vor 29 Tagen

Now it suddenly needs to be the very specific case of drawing a comic 🙄 You are moving goalposts, because you can't deny that there have been a lot of right-wing motivated murders.

poVoq Mod , vor 29 Tagen

You mean killing people because they have a different skin color is not even more insane?

poVoq Mod , vor 29 Tagen

More moving goalposts. Sorry, but you are not arguing in good faith.

poVoq Mod , vor 29 Tagen

You were temporarily banned because you were arguing in bad faith and constantly moved goalposts. And now you got banned again for ban-evasion.
