  • I hear what you are saying, but I’m from Denmark… these types of law suggestions usually come when there’s a focus on something, not when there’s a fear of something.

    The government proved during the Mohammad-drawings that they will not bend over when they are outnumbered, so I’m not too concerned that these new laws are based on fear, rather than common sense… if suddenly the Middle East should focus on circumcision of girls is not allowed in Denmark, I don’t think that would be something we suddenly would allow (and here’s to me hoping that we’ll soon save all the boy penises out there!)



  • Danish chiming in, and while I can’t speak for all my countrymen we discussed the topic at work yesterday.

    Everyone I talked to had the same mixed feelings.

    No, we shouldn’t cater to the religious groups who wants to limit free speech because they get offended over someone burning their copy of a religious book.

    No, anyone shouldn’t burn religious books in public to incite hate and publicly display their (stupid ass) racism.

    A quote from a Danish rapper, made some years ago, is currently trending

    If we want to show people of the Middle East how great “freedom of expression” is, maybe we shouldn’t use it to mock people who don’t have it.

    So, conclusion is we are torn…
    Common conclusion was that everyone should be allowed to burn anything that is legal to burn on their own property. When you take that action into the public, it’s okay that it’s regulated…

    If it’s okay that that regulation only applies to religious books… don’t know.










  • If a new user on my instance was able to subscribe to a comunity on another instance, and all the posts/comments/likes of that community was being fetched so it was browsable on my instance - I would see no issue.

    But as of now, if a user wants to browse content from several communities on different instances - and discover new interesting comunities on different instances - while being a user on a instance filled with "like minded users, they would need a user on all instances which hosts communities of interest to 1) discover these communities 2) view the posts from these communities.

    What you are describing are single entities of communities, which defeats the purpose of federation completely, in my opinion.
