Newbies, as in creators who aren't good, yet, are going to go whatever platform that they can actually get on.

At the moment that's a self-hosted Peertube or Youtube.

And you mentioning koreader, and a helpful discussion of the topic on koreaders github, helped me finally find an open source reader that does vertical text correctly.

Thorium, sadly not koreader, does Japanese vertical writing correctly and I'm very happy right now.

A very short search finds this:

"A decent, comfortable life in Krasnodar, without splurging on unnecessary things, would cost around 210$ per month"

No guarantees with such a short search, but still more pertinent than how much it would be for us, right?

I wont say that you then end up promoting evil garbage sites, because it's not that bad.

I mean I'm not downvoting you.

It's not that bad, not quite, not by a hair or two.

How do you tolerate sites with that much advertising?

And honestly why?

It's a very apt demonstration of "non-hateful" hate-speech.

Under Danish law, if I make a happening for the purpose of making the local stamp collectors association, or anyone lose their collective cool and attack me, I will be dragged away and fined for disturbing the peace.

I really see no reason why stamp collectors should be differently protected than Muslims.

I would agree, however, that both stamp collectors and Muslims should be required to keep their cool, and that we should not enjoy any such protections against mere insult.

On the other hand this guy does his best to shove the burning stamps up the noses of the collectors, ...

And authorities in Muslim countries abuse this to divert attention from their own abuses.

So yeah, I don't know, it's complicated.

Ah, but it isn't really about religion.

It's a simple question of who can 'othered'? Who can be designated as victims?

So it's not other religious groups, but specifically muslims.

It should be noted that the muslim idea of what the Koran is seems to put it on a significantly higher pidestal than where Christains place the Bible.

Higher even than what the more unhinged fringes of the sola scriptura crowd does.

And here in Denmark there's a double standard where behaviour, that would result in being dragged away and fined if you insulted any other group, is just fine as long as you target muslims.

All of which is not to say that Erdogan isn't also an asshole.

But then Erdogan is not quite all muslims.

Why do I get the impression that most of the commenters here haven't noticed that the wider fediverse, and of course kbin.social, are made as an attempt to solve this exact problem.

You're here because we're trying to fix this!

I'd put my money on spritely.institute rather than the current system, but whatever; we are trying!

Or maybe your highschool really had that high level equipment?

You're joking, but the first programming "language" I learned was z80 machinecode in hexadecimal.
