  • Very difficult to say this for sure. Some of the acts we’ve seen are on the same level, frankly. And how could you possibly measure this, objectively? I don’t think this can be argued meaningfully, and so should be removed from your argument.

    I was attacked by people from dbzer0 and called “pro genocide” for saying that, but: There is of course a way to measure and compare violent acts. There is a whole academic field called “Comparative Genocide Studies” which, as you can guess, studies genocides, their differences, how they were committed and is trying to compare them or to categorize them. There are also people doing this from a military point of view studying how wars are fought and so on. That is something you can do - but not here on Lemmy.

    As to the German law: Is that applicable here on Lemmy? Is it up to the mods to interpret German law and apply it?

    Yes? Feddit.org is an austrian/german site and therefore has to operate under local rules. The fediverse is not some lawless cyberspace thing. It has servers running in datacenters and those servers have to account for local laws. It has people funding those servers and those people are people living in their home country have to obey local laws.



  • That source is kind of wonky. It’s just a picture posted somewhere with a not-verifiable source written on it, so there is not a lot to say about this. But if those are real statistics from russia: We kind of know that russia is totally faking their statistics for propaganda reasons and if they publish that statistic, the reality will be much, much worse. And 40% seems to be the average here. Which means that there will be many people on the lower end of the income scale who have to spend a bigger amount.
