  • Apparently most of these are from 2016, which feels like a fucking life time ago. Had to look up the time-line of his “career”.

    He came to prominence with his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which describes his upbringing in Middletown and his family’s Appalachian values. It became a New York Times bestseller and attracted significant press attention during the 2016 United States presidential election. Originally, Vance was a critic of Trump and in 2016 wrote a critical piece in The Atlantic against him, but he later came to support him. Vance launched his first political campaign for Ohio’s Senate seat in 2021 and won the Republican nomination after being endorsed by Trump. He defeated Democratic nominee Tim Ryan in the general election.


















  • At least in feddit (main German instance) there were a lot of posts offering up financial support, but it was declined because it was not needed.

    I think especially the smaller communities wouldn’t have a problem coming with funds for hosting. Donations for lemmy developers have also increased significantly since the main exodus.

    I get your scepticism, but I think the lemmy community for the most part wants this thing to “succeed” and is willing to chip in a reasonable amount.





  • Also Hamburg war höchstens mal beim ein und auslassen zu dem hoersaeelen etwas voller, aber eben auch nur soviel Leute wie reinpassen. Die Kapazitäten empfand ich nie als zuviel, aber das ist sicher auch sehr subjektiv.

    Es sind natürlich viele bunte lichter zu sehen, aber davon kriegt man ja von Fotos einen Eindruck. Vor Ort gibt es auch immer ein gutes Helfer Team, sollte man mit irgendwas Probleme habe. Das ist keine Konzert oder Party Atmosphäre (solange man nicht auf die parties nachts geht)

    Was mit den vouchern passiert kann ich dir leider nicht sagen.
