Even for tiny, tiny social media platforms like the fediverse, the current propaganda/misinformation campaign is tailor-made for the expected audience.
E.g., on Facebook it might be enough to post AI slop depicting Trump as a saint. Here, that won’t fly. You have to understand that a lot of lefties and educated people reside here, so you just have to point the undecided to a third party. Maybe you’re not even after the actual undecided, spreading FUD is usually good enough. And a healthy dose of “both sides”!

Of course, it’s vital to omit the fact that FPTP systems always devolve into two-party systems (a fact well understood), and you’re good to go. Easy rubles probably.

Since you already complained about the wrong vocabulary, I can continue with my lurking ways.

We have one of the worst rates of home ownership in DE, compared to the rest of EU: Page is in german but the graph is pretty much self-explanatory.
But that can’t be the sole reason, because the home ownership rates are actually better in the east than in the west. Hmm, during the Cold War, the former GDR actually had incredible child care. Even smaller companies were often required to have some sort of Kindergarten and other support for parents. Maybe this is still remembered by today’s potential parents, and - like someone said ITT - parents have it hard enough already.

Fun fact: This was explained to me (in High School…) because “the enemy” wanted to indoctrinate children at a very young age because communism… I didn’t even had to ask, that came immediately when the then GDR was discussed as part of the official curriculum.

I’d like to humbly disagree: Quality and quantity matters, a lot.
Huffing paint thinners is a bad idea obviously.

Indeed, professional standards and 12h days are not compatible.

Because “Information Age” misses a prefix, simple as.

I will steal this!

&udm=14 might still work for a while.

Holy shit, a talking hamster :O

Why not both? â

How reliable is this source? Several german newsrooms mentioned are under public law (öffentlich-rechentlich), so I guess this is the real deal?

EDIT: It’s a Visegrád based journalist network FWIW.

Argh :D

There is a rather new, more or less scientific-oriented party around in all our EU countries, you might want to look into their platform (VOLT). Not affiliated btw, but they sparked my interest.

Indeed, especially for women in my limited experience. Hmm, do I want to really commit SuicideByWords by mentioning a small sample size?

<just some UI feedback from gleaning the screen shot>

• looks clean enough
• apparently contextual help, I like those
• tables love to be sortable (maybe the table is already sortable, please indicate (🔺🔻))
• the location of the ‘download’ button is somewhat random and it doesn’t need an extra border, the color is more than enough for it to stand out
• this also affects the order of screen reading/information intake

Me, I’d rather have poor problems which just affect me, instead of their problems which fuck up the whole world.

I went sleuthing last night. Skimming some pertinent imageboards/forums, looking for the spin they’d be going with. I encountered sheer panic and they got nothing, except misogyny/racism and the lame claim she isn’t a mother. That’s it - for now.

E.g. on /pol/ they were trolling themselves with a supposedly deceased Biden because he went AWOL for 5 days or something. LMAO.

I tested it with a stock install of chrome/windows 11. Works.

NIИ - Gave up

…but inch nails is probably cheating anyway.
