  • In the end, I had a 2 pages-document of pros and cons for leaving church…

    Some of them:

    • If I wasn’t part of Christianity and had the choice to join, would I do it? No.
    • The scandals
    • Their actions to keep the scandals under the radar which made it even worse
    • Wasted money in Germany. A bishop in Germany bought a bathtub for 15k €. That’s a prominent case, but there are a lot more
    • The fact that the church is literally a throttle of evolution.
    • Still no equality between men and women (I’m sure, they’ll do that at some point. But it’s the church. So, it’s gonna take 600 years)
    • No proof of existence of a god or whatever
    • There are n religions saying, their god is the real one. At least n-1 of them must be wrong.
    • Only 3-5% of the money you pay as a member via taxes goes to charity (in Germany)
    • The “Bistum Köln” in Germany has so much money… They started investing it and bought shares of companies.
    • I became a member of a religion when I was < 1 year old. I confirmed it when I was 13??? Most other live-relevant decisions are 18+. This should be the same here.
    • Religion lessons in school felt like a waste of time
    • Church is a black box. No one knows what they are actually doing, how much money they own, …
    • Church has an own “justice system” in Germany, which is terrible.
    • Most Christians prefer not acting christian when they are challenged.
    • I didn’t want to finance an Anti-LGBT group
    • Ratlines, a.k.a. “How the church helped Nazis to escape Europe after WW2”
    • … and 10 more points.
    • Also, I found only 3 or 4 very bad arguments to not quit

    And when I realized that the only thing keeping me in there is “fearing” how some people (mostly family) might react when I’d quit, I knew, I had to quit as soon as possible.




  • No one and both.

    Sounds weird, but both countries would have developed better without the war. So no one.

    But also both, because it will probably result in a situation in which both parties celebrate victory. The smallest possible victory for Russia could be “we defeated a few ‘Nazis’” and the smallest possible victory of Ukraine could be “They took only parts of our land”.












  • It seems like you misunderstand what Joplin is? Or I misunderstand what you are saying… I don’t know…

    Joplin is a note taking app that fully works on markdown. You can use it on your local PC, but you can also synchronize the notes over devices.

    Joplin is hosting the image on the user’s instance - you’re in feddit.de, so it uploads to feddit.de.

    Joplin and Lemmy have nothing to do with each other. I have just taken a screenshot of the rendered markdown document in my Joplin app, switched to my web browser, opened feddit.de and posted the screenshot in this community.

    If you want to say that using Joplin just to draw and post pictures somewhere, would be a bad idea… Yes, that’s right. But it’s primarily a note-taking app, so that’d be expected… And usually, the notes are private and nothing you want to regularly post online…

    Meanwhile, the old reddit app I used to use (Relay) would upload to imgur, all seemlessly in the background, then paste the link code in my comment. This kind of functionality is what I would like to see.

    I’m generally against hosting files on instances, anyway. It creates extra server load.

    Well, Lemmy is a decentralized system. Hosting all image resources on a centralized service (imgur) is probably not what the majority wants…
