It happened becasue this community is copied from Reddit. And it was this way on Reddit because Reddit started in the US and was popular in the US first back when it was much smaller. So r/politics being only about US politics made sense then. Here on Lemmy and Kbin even in its early days the user base is hardly just Americans.

The name swapping was funny, but it was never practical. Many people who should find it or want to find it ended up not. Not only is there a name barrier, there's also a barrier to them just clicking away or not engaging. World politics should be the more visible one compared to US politics anyway. Many people, especially Americans, would benefit from learning what politics is like in other parts of the world.

It was already planned to end. The canvas wide FUCK SPEZ! has nothing to do with it. It was actually coordinated because they know it's ending. The white FUCK SPEZ! is only done during the white out, where to get the canvas deleted to blank (which also happened last year), users are only able to add greyscale tiles and eventually just white. There were plenty of other fuck Spez messages and art, and some were censored like the guillotine or when the name Steve Huffman was used directly, but this wasn't one of them.

Why not both?

I'm looking for why those dates in particular. Also, it's a spike that's very different from Lemmy.

I think you are missing the point. The point isn't where the money is spent the most. The point is money has to come from somewhere. And yes, ideally it would be redirected from billionaires, mega-corps and military budget, but that's currently not happening. The money spent on space exploration is at least somewhere in the same vein as the ones spent on the environment, other researches etc. They are for the sake of making progress. Let's look at a hypothetical situation where space exploration is getting more traction again (more than now).

1. Attention will be diverted from environmental impact on earth.
2. Budget redirected to space exploration also has to come from somewhere, and it's also unlikely to be from military budget.

And that's the problem.

Another incorrect assumption.

And yet no reasoning given. A rather pointless response. It suggests you don't have reasons to support your hate.

So to make a summary, for you people I am insecure, pro slavery, against women be able to vote, anti civil rights and pro totalitarianism. Anything else?

How about you stop victimising yourself and reason something meaningful for a chance? Apparently, it's okay for you to say the side you disagree with is getting brainwashed (remember, you used the word first), and mutilating themselves (also, your word, which is wrong btw), but it's not okay for other sides to say the same to you? Quite a hypocrite we have here.

When did i express hate?

Literally the points you are expressing. You are supporting making choices illegal to people. Choices that are extremely meaningful to some. You are encouraging their persecution.

The only one here receiving hate It’s me and i am being hated by the people who profess to spread love.

Again, stop victimising yourself LMAO.

I am a woman and your opinion sucks. Just how many percentage of people who transitioned do you think compete in sport at professional level? That's a completely invalid reason to make it illegal for people to transition. You can disagree with having transitioned women compete in women sport, but it's a completely different matter from the anti human rights and freedom of choice view point to stop people who want to from transitioning. It's ridiculous this even need to be spelled out to you.

Moreover, this sounds like it stems from your insecurity more than anything, and I don't believe that is at all a valid reason for gate keeping people. And should I mention how you lump the whole LGBTQ in the issue you have with just transpeople? You're just hating (or conditioned to hate) and it's petty.

Let's go a step further, there are non binary people out there. Are you going to hate on them just because they are born that way? It's fucking stupid.

If they are pussies just go hangout at exploding heads. I'm sure they are more than happy to call you a bunch of slurs and various ways of saying KYS to prove how tough they are.
Have fun, and don't come back.

The money though. If they are not going to pry the money out of billionaires, it has to come from somewhere (less well off people). Those are arguably better spent to improve situations on the earth than on something that's likely to disproportionately benefit the wealthy as their plaything, extra income, escape or whatever. Especially because it should be clear to everyone except the absolute dumbest and delusional people how critical action is right now.

Lol, I can assure you he's not doing things right, and it's all luck and a lot of willingness to be an asshole. The achievements come from the passionate engineers and scientists.

At least the Dutch is already doing it.

Personally, they are the same sort of trash ever since I realise I can’t access its content from a web browser and I have to download the app with an account, so from the start.

Flower with Fibonacci spiral works because Fibonacci appears every where in nature, especially patterns and structures.

The abusive relationship is with Reddit, not the community they moderate. A more accurate analogy is tolerating the abusive person because you don't want to completely lost contact with many other people you care about just because of that one guy who they're still friend with. The answer then become less clear cut than just cut off the toxic person. It becomes a question of when the abusive person becomes toxic enough that even the prospect of keeping in touch with other people you care about isn't worth it any more. That is going to be different for everyone and there's no right answer as it completely depends on the person. It is still possible that someone misjudge and they'd be better off leaving earlier, but what that earlier point is still has to be decided first according to their own circumstances.

To illustrate my point. Some people believe it's the right thing to do to leave Reddit much earlier than this year, such as when they let /r/thedonald operated freely. In this case here because you decided to stay until 1-2 months ago, you are also part of the problem that "stayed and helped Reddit build Reddit".

I think this post simplified the situation in a way that misrepresented the motivation of some moderators.

It's a subscription, you're telling me you're willing to keep paying just for the icon? And not a cheap one for what it's worth either.

People who don't spend one minute to (re)think it.

For the purpose of this question, slow throughout. Also has to be something that can universally agreed as being slow, otherwise we're going to have to discuss at what point songs stop being fast or slow. I might as well throw in the word mellow to really push it.

I could see myself doing that tbh, but for other things. There's always this urge to promote the less well known stuff. It just depends on when you're in the mood to actually type it out.

Many parts in Asia, including Japan (mentioning this specifically because it's probably the easiest to find if you want to try). They are pretty delicious.

This is how they usually look btw. You can usually find them with different kinds of sauces depending on the cuisine it comes from. The texture is like a more chewy cross between scallop and octopus.
