What do you mean “throttle who can see you”. Lemmy is free like wordpress, as well

Upselling and throttling?

Hosting a static website is much much much easier and cheaper than hosting something with a backend like wordpress. A static website is essentially just an html file being served over a fileserver on port 80. I’ve seen people host them on top of a Minecraft server

Now THIS is leeching that I can get behind! Excellent work!

Chud

We shouldn’t be getting upset at swastikas being used within their asian context.

That’s a bit silly. The symbol has existed as one of remembrance for over 100 years. We shouldn’t let fascists take claim of it

Although I take this to mean that the ‘poppy pages’ are actually fronts for bigotry?

How are poppies radical on Facebook?

Except in the 1500s, paganism was generally long gone- at that time, there was no point in placating it. The UK was under a lot of German and french influence, and less so nordic influence. Something as open and humanly universal as “pagans were bringing plants into the house” doesn’t necessarily mean Christmas trees are of pagan origin. Just that pagans brought plants into the house. (With that logic- is putting some flowers out on the table paganism?)

Your timeline at 4 is wrong - Christmas was celebrated as early as the second century. Hyppolitus mentioned it and it’s also mentioned in the Epistle of Theophilus.

Wouldn’t this also affect things about the British Monarchy and Ireland due to the Winged Maiden?

you’re completely wrong

Lemmy moment

Is that where the whole “all Christians disappear” trope came from? Because that’s certainly not from the Bible

You lot scare me, judging by these replies.

What even is that series. I can’t be bothered to watch it

This is the level of theology I signed up to lemmy for.

Not much worse than Reddit, anyhow

Wouldn’t make sense for it to hang after the equinox - wouldn’t it start hanging before with the equinox as it’s peak?

You’d make a good American Evangelical by the way you take the Bible out of context.

Christmas trees started as a German tradition where trees were decorated in September with Eucharist Hosts to represent the Tree of Life in Eden, for celebrating Creationtide. As time went on and the tradition travelled, it eventually was used for Christmas.
