Haha ein guter Jokus. Danke auch dass du mich damit an die Umfrage erinnert hast! Ich hoffe stark ihr habt alle schön die Vögel, Flüsse und Werte/Naturlandschaften raufgewählt, die sind mit Abstand das beste! Kulturwerke und Hände wären auch ok.
schöne geschichte, leider liegst du damit absolut falsch. es gab zuvor schon konsultationen mit der bevölkerung und mit experten zu den möglichen themen, der gestaltung und dem vorgehen überhaupt, siehe zum gesamten vorgang hier: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/redesign/html/index.de.html und zur zusammenfassung der ergebnisse der bisherigen beteiligungsprozesse hier https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/shared/pdf/ecb.executive_summary_new_banknotes.de.pdf
EU policy is so hit and miss because the EU Parliament mostly has our backs, and is introducing good legislation protecting consumers of corpo overreach (like the roaming directive). The EU Commission on the other hand has only the interest of the EU countries' governments in mind, which makes many of its proposals rather shitty of the common citizen. Also tells you a lot about what the actual national governments stand for, when somebody else is doing more for the citizens than they are.
I thought about this comment, and realized that somehow, I just don't care so much about what happens to Reddit anymore. Instead of worrying about what I left behind, I'm looking forward to what's ahead of us.
I think it's because even before the whole 3d-party-app drama, there already was this undefined feeling that Reddit's best days are behind it. Maybe it's the effect of ad money and monetization, or it's the inevitable trend towards low quality content that comes with mass adoption, probably it's both.
Whatever the cause, in most subreddits, the old Facebook-style rot had already set in. Once-cool subs now being an endless barrage of tired memes, bots farming karma, and people being assholes. The things I joined for years ago, the engaging discussion, random encounters with amazing experts, the cutting-edge internet anarchy, it's all already long gone.
When I opened the app (Baconreader in my case), I only did it out of habit, to then spendy time scrolling through an endless list of things that made me slightly go "heh".
So, maybe most people will stay on Reddit for now, and probably I will have to leave behind certain communities instead of finding direct replacements. But I see that as a good thing. As long as even just 2% of Reddit's users make it here, I'm excited it will grow into something much better than what I left behind.

Yes please! I'd love the ability for electronic money transfers (even offline!) without being dependent on private service partners like fucking Google, Apple and Mastercard.
Maybe explain it more as a payment standard, a protocol, not so much as another currency.
before leaving as in before switching to another community while browsing? or as in when you unsubscribe? and what if I never leave
First of all, it has one big difference: What types of communities you see when you browse the "Local" communities (on most apps or web UIs it's gonna be a setting at the top). "Local" shows you threads posted in communities that are on your instance; "All" shows you the whole network, similar to /r/all on reddit; and "Subscribed" shows you only the communities you're interested in, similar to the main page on reddit. It makes sense to switch this setting to All for the time being, and to see what's going on everywhere else and which communities develop; to Local when you get confused, e.g. with lots of posts in languages you don't speak or lots of duplicate posts; and to Subscribed once things have settled down and once you have found your communities that you're interested in (and other stuff that you're not interested in becomes more and more on the All feed).
There's some eceptions when the "linked instances" structure does make a difference:
Quick tips: Don't be too stressed about "missing" content on other instances, right now it's still early days and a bit chaotic. And do consider making multiple accounts on other instances, and checking out what's different. the apps that are being developed right now make switching between multiple accounts easy, and one day will hopefully bring bookmarks and comments across multiple accounts together as well. Shop around for different instances and apps and see what's out there,, read people's recommendations, try and find instance and community lists. And in general, don't see your current account as the only way you'll interact with the Lemmy network (just as alt accounts were a thing on Reddit), and don't expect the network to serve you everything on a golden platter, you'll have to do some hunting around for the cool things, a bit like in the internet days before Web 2.0 happened – but that's half the fun!
No, I like the name wefwef! It is a perfectly fine name, it's unique to your project, granting you immediate recogniza- and googlability, and honestly, I don't understand most people advocating for a change. God forbid we had an app or service name that was a bit fun and unique for once! No, let's change the project name just as it's getting popular, confusing everyone and hurting your Google rank, just to have another bland and boring name instead that's completely forgettable and shared by hundreds of other things! Are most of these commenters, like, 12, and still at an age where it's very very important that your friends perceive you as using only what's a child's idea of "cool" stuff? I honestly can't think of any other reason. Name it Awesome Monster App then!
So, no, in short keep it at wefwef! Lowercase and fun pronunciation and all! And for next year's April Fool's, announce a big name change, and then reveal that name to be "weewee", just to fuck with all the haters. Wefwef is the best app/service name in years!
Just my two cents.
then we'd better get started!
yeah it's great isn't it‽
Was? Vögel und generell Naturmotive wären super, wir haben genug schöne Natur hier auf die man stolz sein kann! Also ich persönlich bin immer neidisch auf lateinamerikanische Länder und ihre coolen Naturmotive am Geld. Außerdem würden sich damit endlich schöne Spitznamen für einzelne Scheine etablieren ("He, hast du ne Taube für mich?" - "Das Fahrrad kostet ungelogen 3 Eulen!"), absolut geil und notwendig!
Flüsse oder Bauten in schönen Landschaften wären aber auch ok, Kulturwerke auch aber ein bisschen ausgelutscht (jaja Dampfmaschine, jaja Beethoven, hören wir endlich auf uns einen darauf runterzuholen), der Rest (Silhouetten...) wäre mir zu abstrakt, da kann man gleich lustige geometrische Muster nehmen.
