I think this makes a lot of sense. We don't want the instance hosting, say, football communities to be defederated anywhere on account of its users behaving poorly. In general there's just no reasons to have the users in the same place as the community.

This is my favourite places. I used to live in Treptower for a few months and would go there pretty frequently.

It's a war cemetery, marking the final resting place of more than 7000 Red Army soldiers who fell in the Battle of Berlin. More than 80 000 Soviet soldiers fell in the battle in total.

The monument is much bigger than this statue. in the middle of the park of the monument there are these gigantic stone flags, hanging to each side. Directly across from the soldier is a large, but significantly smaller, statue of a woman kneeling in respect for the soldier. Then there's all these huge square stones depicting scenes from the war, with quotes by Stalin written in gold in Russian and German on the side.

What I love about it, in addition to the symmetry and the somewhat over the top nature of it all, is that it's positioned exactly where two traumatic pasts meet. It is in part a sacred space; in part a painful memory. Some will criticize it for glorifying Stalin and the GDR; others have labelled it the "Tomb of the Unknown Rapist", in reference to the not always excellent conduct of the Red Army. But despite everything­—and there is a lot—one can't help but feel an immense gratitude to the 7 000 lying there. It's a place where history and ideas collide, and one is struck by the complexity maybe more than the beauty.

I think that was just in Cannes or something.

Edit: It seems I'm wrong! Basically it's up to the cinema to include it, but it doesn't change all that much. I had my information from reading a review by a reviewer who thought he had witnessed something completely unique.

That policeman said Mr. Cool If you're not drunk then you're a fool I said if that's against the law Tell me why I never saw A man locked in that jail of yours Who wasn't just as lowdown poor as me

Later on in live version's he'd change the last line to "who wasn't either black or as poor as me".

I have no idea whether it's a valid point or not, but Finding Nemo was 21 years ago. Not sure that counts as "nowadays".

Onwards is from 2020 and is all about death. Coco is from 2017, I should really get around to seeing it.

I'm sure the Irish call it football when they speak English, but what about in Irish? If Google translate to Irish is trustable,

English to Irish Football = Peil

But also Soccer = Sacar

So maybe there's two accepted variants. But where does Pail come from anyway? Let's translate it back to English:

Peil = Very big potato

So most of the world plays football, some strange corners of it play soccer, and the Irish play very big potato.

I'd love if a native speaker could confirm this. #Irish #Gaeilge #football @gaeilge@a.gup.pe @football@a.gup.pe

I had a feeling that would be an issue!

On the one hand, football@soccer would be a good compromise.

On the other, we're right, the Americans are wrong. Simple as that. So I sympathise with the lack of willingness to compromise on the matter.

I think this sounds like a good idea. A problem when starting a community is that one wants to find a stable home; it might make sense to set up camp at, say, hardware.watch, but without knowing who operates it it might feel more uncertain than lemmy.world.

And then, as a result, if lemmy.world ever disappears or has problems, it'll take way too many communities with it.

If these topic-specific instances had some sort of collective ownership, I guess we could more effectively guarantee for their continued survival, and it might be more tempting for existing communities to move over there.

I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts of some admins - would !football@lemmy.world be interested in moving to [!football@soccer.forum](/c/football@soccer.forum), given the right organization?

And a piece of constructive feedback: Vague community names like !main@soccer.forum is probably less likely to attract attention than something specific like !nba@nba.space - when searching for a community, people look up the community name rather than the domain.

This could mean many things.

One interpretation is to re-invent the world wide web. One recent effort to do so is Gemini, which is pretty charming with it's completely text-based tiny internet that feels like the intimate web WWW must have been like in the early 90s or something.

If I had too much time on my hands I would love to tinker with it.

Is this why I am out of the loop? Is this a thing of American culture, or is it internet culture? Or both?

In any case, I watched the video, found it funny. Harmless absurdity is fun.

I mean... yeah, I do believe their bombing of Gaza is also extremely targeted.

It's just a question of who you target.

Well, considering the ongoing genocide has been a "dangerous situation with a high risk of escalation" for almost a year now, it's not very surprising their state-sponsored terrorist attack is merely a James Bond-esque intelligence strategy.
