  • Do you think all European people are a hive mind like the Borg? There are many people here who followed the events in Ukraine from 2014. Especially the numerous ethnic Russians in Eastern Europe and Germany. However the mainstream media never reports about them. In many cases they were even criminalized for supporting Donbass and Russia.

    If you only follow the news media, you will see what the European ruling class wants you to see and nothing more.



  • I believe this is the right answer. Additionally, one character in CJK languages represents a single syllable, so you get less line breaks per word. For example the world “union” can be transliterated to Korean as 유니온. Writing that vertically takes 5 lines in English (one line per letter), but only 3 lines in Korean:

    유 니 온














  • Lemmy puts up full-page advertisements for donations but a lot of that funding goes to running Lemmy.ml and seemingly only very little to actual code development.

    Please stop spreading misinformation. The server for lemmy.ml only costs ~70€ per month which is only 2% of the total donation amount (3336€). With Lemmy we care a lot about writing high-quality and bug-free code as well as offering a good user experience. All of that takes time to do well.

    Edit: For your information, only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation methods are exclusively paying for developer salaries.
