  • Please.

    The sole redeeming factor about Trump is being extremely unpredictable. He is a quintessentially ignorant American in that way. No one can reliably control him, he will flip-flop between diametrically opposed positions at will.

    Hopefully chaos impersonated will turn on Putin for a while. Hell, if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent he may be able to harm Russia more than Biden ever did.

    That's where the 160,000 deaths number came from. The largest German nature conservation NGO is also quoted as saying cats are a danger to birds.

    A single district in Northern Germany has had 660 cats shot within a year. In the dstrict's state 2580 cats were shot in total. Note that the "landesweit" doesn't refer to countrywide but rather to statewide (as German states are called "federal countries").

  • Wrong. Outdoor cats pose a significant risk to birds in Europe as well, especially because Europe has massively reduced the habitat of wildlife in recent centuries.

    Cats found 200-500 meters away from any property are shot by hunters in Germany. Between 2007 and 2022 over 160,000 cats were killed in just 5/16 German states (the remaining one's don't publish numbers).

  • Sure, I agree with nearly everything you said.

    Except that on a German instance you must abide German laws. If it were a Belgian instance, Belgian laws would have to be followed. You can call anyone and anything a nazi outside of instances hosted by Germans.

    For similar reasons, calls for the death of billionaires are removed on lemmy.world because that violates laws where that instance is hosted.

    The Radbruch formula is not bullshit though, as it explicitly defines when disobedience of laws is mandatory. Slightly infringing on freedom of speech is not a valid reason, as it doesn't violate fundamental rights that cannot ever be restricted by laws - most notably the freedom to live and being free of bodily harm.

  • There is no issue with rewarding work with luxury while still providing everyone with the necessities to survive - such as a basic home and food.

    Besides, you can reduce unemployment by just reducing working hours. 40 hours per week is way too much frankly. Why not 30 or even 20? That way everyone has more free time which results in better health and more productivity.

  • If following a law slightly restricting freedom of speech - which is fully compatible with the German constitution may I add - ensures the existence of the instance, then yes, following this law is a moral good.

    Besides, wrong laws should be followed, provided the law is not unjust in its very foundation (such as a law mandating the dealth penalty). That's the Radbruch formula which is a core of German jurisprudence since WW2 which allows for prosecution of "legal" crimes and mandates disobedience of unjust laws.

    This current law - or rather the interpretation of it - is objectively wrong. Its foundation - the criminalization of antisemitism and Holocaust denial - however is not unjust in its very being.

    You can be assured feddit.org will never follow any "law, no matter how wrong it is" - as that would be illegal.

  • Zero parts of that comment violate German law or would get the comment removed from !europe@feddit.org

    The comment doesn't doesn't draw a parallel to nazis nor does it call for an end to Israel, therefore it is completely fine both by German law and the moderator's actions.

  • If one genocide is lesser in scale or severity it can be (and has been) argued it is downplaying it.

    There are very few genocides you can directly compare to the Holocaust as its scale and speed was unprecedented even for the time.

    I'm unsure you can compare any other genocide to the Holocaust in accordance with German law.

  • Have you read the post? There are 3 things you cannot say about Israel:

    1. Israel is as bad as the nazis
    2. Calling for the (violent) destruction of Israel
    3. The slogan "From the river to the sea"

    Anything else has zero risk and can be freely said.

    The first one is objectively speaking a hyperbole so it's not necessary for discussions. Use any other genocide to draw a parallel to such as the US's genocide of the indigenous population. The second one can be interpreted too vaguely but you're save if you just put the word "peaceful" anywhere when advocating for a one state solution. The third one is a slogan that shouldn't be banned but is, so just don't say it.

    Yes, this law is too broad and designed to criminalize discussion about Israel. In a moderated forum this law is trivial to follow without changing the message behind any comment.

  • Naja, hier schaffen es nicht mal alle S-Bahn Bahnhöfe von 100,000 Einwohner Städten einen ebenerdigen Einstieg zu haben. Oder defekte Aufzüge in weniger als zwei Wochen zu reparieren.

    Gefühlt hat die Bahn im Hinblick Barrierefreiheit die Schulnote 5. Wenn Rollstuhlfahrer durchschnittlich so viel Bahn fahren würden, wie Nicht-Rollstuhlfahrer würde vermutlich die Zugpünktlichkeitsquote auf 10% oder so sinken.

  • Sorry, I meant either confiscation of the domain or the server provider deciding to take everything down. The latter can be mitigated with backups but it will nevertheless result in long downtimes.

    There's generally no legal recourse or protection if any instance involved in hosting the site decides to break contracts. This sort of uncertainty sucks and has to be taken into consideration.
