Germany. For the most part, yes.
More than laws, the main issue is probably the understaffed prosecution and court system.
I opened a PDF today, that was linked on a website. But the PDF opened in Google Docs (displayed there as x.pdf). The first page loaded fast, but I waited like 10 or 15 seconds for the rest of it - confused whether it's just one page or image or what, and then confused how I change pages if not scrolling, but turned out it just took ages to load.
Just link the damned PDF doc.
No, I replied from feddit.org.
On lemmy you can see where the account is from
and you should be able to see Kissaki@feddit.org

I tried to reply to my long comment from mastodon.social, but it didn't show up. I assume lemmy.world blocks replies from mastodon.social.
Given the diverse nature, instances can control to what degree they connect to other instances within the Fediverse.
One instance may block another because of spam or extremist or illegal accounts or content. Or they may allow interaction but only for those explicitly seeking it out instead of showing it within their own interface. etc
I'm not an expert, but…
even when doing so wouldn’t necessarily undermine their broader position
Conceding one wrong is proof that you, your view or argumentation, is flawed. Conceding just one minor point puts every point's validity into question.
Even if you can conclude that it's irrelevant both factually there's social and emotional aspects to it.
We are driven not only by reason, but in large part by emotion, and our ingrained social psyche.
Even if it is factually irrelevant, conceding is confirming fault, and may cause anxiety about repercussions in terms of social standing (how you are seen by the others) and for your argument as a whole (will you be trusted when something you said was wrong).
What you describe as building identity is building that identity around a set of beliefs and group of people.
Depending on the group and beliefs, two aspects come into play:
Group dynamics of in-group and out-group. Loyalty may be more important than reason. The own group is likely seen as better than the "others". Others may be seen as inferior or as enemies.
If you acknowledge just one point integral to the groups beliefs, what does that mean for you as a part of that group? Will you lose all your social standing? Will you lose being part of the group?
Somewhat unrelated and related at the same time, because self-identity is also a construct to build stable group associations; building your confidence and self-identity around a set of values, conceding on some of them means losing stability and confidence in yourself, your worth.
The human psyche is still largely driven by genetics developed in ancient times, and the environment.
As a social create, it was critically important to be able to join groups and stay in them, to have strong and stable bonds. This persists today, in our psyche and behaviors.
The fediverse is a diverse social network that is distributed across multiple platforms.
Going from the basis to the specific services:
For example:
Lemmy is a social platform like Reddit, but anyone can host their own instance. Users can make accounts and create communities on different instances. Users can then follow and interact with communities from other instances.
For example, my account is on feddit.org, but I am posting this comment to !asklemmy@lemmy.world. Because I follow the community, feddit.org fetches and copies the data from that community, and any activity from either side gets communicated to the other. As a result, you on lemmy.world and me on feddit.org can both see and interact with the same community.
Mastodon is a social platform like Twitter. Someone may have their account on mastodon.social, which is one such instance running Mastodon. Despite being a different use-case and interface, they can follow, read, and post to Lemmy communities.
I tried replying to this comment from mastodon.social. I was able to view this post and this comment. I don't know if the comment will show up or not; maybe lemmy.world blocks mastodon.social comments.
The Fediverse is the collection of compatible services and networks that can speak and connect to each other.
Ich dachte ich lande bei 20 %. Gibt doch tatsächlich 100 % Matches.
Es gab Thesen die ich überspringen musste weil ich mit den Begrifflichkeiten nichts anfangen konnte.
Gestern Abend lief auf Phoenix was über den letzten Papst. Unter anderem wie er sich auch sehr für Veränderung engagiert hat und gleich zu Beginn gängige Praktiken geändert hat und seine Kollegen kritisiert hat.
Ich bin gespannt ob das jetzt dazu führt dass man einen konservativeren Kandidaten nimmt oder nicht. Aber so wirklich verfolgen werde ich es trotzdem nicht. Dafür ist mir das zu weit weg [von mir und meiner Lebensrealität]. Wenn ich drüber lese natürlich trotzdem ggf. interessant.
