The new menu sucks ass. It’s a big step backwards.
No one likes it.
I created an issue. It got closed, “This is not for questions”.
Ok I created an issue. “Regression: Revert the menu changes”
It got closed too.
Now I created a new issue and it will get closed as well.

Cinnamon is ran by fascist devs and I will no longer use it, and neither should you.

Nach bald 3 Jahren Operation und kostenlosem Hosten der Fediverse Instanz https://goeppingen.social samt https://kleinanzeigen.goeppingen.social wird diese wegen Mangels an Interesse am 14. Februar 2026 gelöscht.
Die Gründe sind:
Nutzer interessiert es scheinbar nicht eine offene Plattform zu haben, welche die Zugehörigkeit zur Region Göppingen signalisiert
Die Stadt und den Landkreis Göppingen interessiert es nicht solch eine freie Plattform zu unterstützen. Es gab keine Kommunikation, keine Antworten von Seite der Stadt Göppingen, egal wie oft ich es versucht hatte. Sie setzen lieber auf Meta und ausspionieren der Nutzer statt freie Alternativen zu unterstützen.
Menschen scheinen einfach kein Interesse daran zu haben.
Wer bin ich es ihnen aufzudrängen?

Ich ziehe die Konsequenzen und stampfe das Angebot ein.
Kurze Historie,

• Erstellt am 14. Feburuar 2023 und auf einem alten Linux Server gehostet.
• Frage und Antwort Portal aufgestellt.
• Video Hosting Plattform hinzugefügt. (wie Youtube)
• Kleinanzeigen selbstentwickelt und verfügbar gemacht.
• Reddit Alternative hinzugefügt
• In einen Kubernetes Cluster umgezogen um Hochverfügbarkein zu gewährleisten
• Die meisten Dienste wieder eingestampft, aus Mangel an Interesse an der Fediverse Instanz.
• Ende Gelände

Als Alternative besteht jetzt https://forumz.eu/c/goeppingen
Die Kosten belaufen und beliefen sich auf ca. 110€/Monat.
Die Resourcen werden dann für Kommerzielle Projekte verwendet.

Schade. Die Menschen wollen es einfach nicht anders.
Ja, ich bin enttäuscht, von den Nichtnutzern und den Offiziellen Stellen.
Göppingen – Eine Stadt in der etwas aufzubauen, dass nichts mit Essen, Trinken oder Feiern zu tun hat nicht möglich ist.

If you have ever complained that “there are no good men left” or that “the dating market is impossible,” you might not be imagining it—you might just be on the wrong continent.

The global human sex ratio is roughly 101 men for every 100 women. Nature tends to produce slightly more boys (about 105 boys born for every 100 girls), but men generally have lower life expectancies. It balances out.

However, when you filter the data specifically for the “Dating Age” (18–45), the map changes drastically. Geography, economics, and migration have created massive imbalances in the global dating pool. Here is where the numbers are skewed.

1. The “Man Surplus”: Where Men Outnumber Women

If you are looking for men, statistically speaking, the odds are in your favor in two very different types of regions.

The Gulf States: The Most Extreme Imbalance

The most gender-skewed countries on Earth are in the Middle East, specifically the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations. This isn’t due to birth rates; it is due to economics. These nations rely heavily on a migrant workforce for construction and infrastructure, which is overwhelmingly male.

• Qatar: Roughly 3 to 4 men for every 1 woman (in the 20-40 demographic).
• UAE (Dubai/Abu Dhabi): Roughly 2.2 men for every 1 woman.
• Bahrain & Oman: Roughly 1.5 to 2 men for every 1 woman.

China & India: The Policy Effect

In the world’s two most populous nations, there is a distinct surplus of young men. This is the result of decades of cultural preference for sons and, in China’s case, the former One-Child Policy.

The Reality: In the 20–40 age bracket, there are millions of “extra” men who are statistically unlikely to find a female partner locally.

2. The “Woman Surplus”: Where Women Outnumber Men

Finding countries where women outnumber men in the 18–45 age bracket is much harder. Nature favors young men, so a “surplus” of young women usually indicates a specific economic or social phenomenon.

The Caribbean: The “Island Effect”

In several Caribbean nations and territories, young men frequently emigrate to the US or UK for work, while women are more likely to stay employed in local service, tourism, or government sectors.

• Hotspots: Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands often show ratios where women outnumber men in the dating demographic.

Eastern Europe: A Complex Picture

You often hear that Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltics (Latvia/Lithuania) have the most women. While true, the massive gap is usually found in the 65+ age group due to a large gap in life expectancy.

However, in the dating age, a shortage of men does exist, driven by:

1. Emigration: Young men moving to Western Europe for higher wages.
2. Mortality: Higher rates of accidents and health issues among men.
3. Current Events: In Russia and Ukraine specifically, the ongoing conflict and mobilization have significantly reduced the number of available men aged 18–40.

3. The “City Effect”: Why Your City Feels Lopsided

If you live in a major Western metropolis, national statistics might not apply to you. There is a global trend of young professional women flocking to cities, while men are statistically more distributed in rural or industrial areas.

If you look at the 20–35 demographic in major hubs:

• New York City, London, Paris: Often have a surplus of educated, young women.
• Silicon Valley / Seattle: Remain heavily male-dominated due to the tech industry concentration.
• Rural Areas / Industrial Zones: Tend to be male-dominated (mining, agriculture, manufacturing).

Summary: The Global Dating Map

Region	Demographic Trend (Age 18-45)
Qatar / UAE	Extreme Male Surplus (Migrant Labor)
China / India	High Male Surplus (Birth Rates)
USA / W. Europe	Balanced / Slight Male Surplus (Nature)
Caribbean	Female Surplus (Male Emigration)
Baltics / E. Europe	Female Surplus (Migration/Health)

So, if you are tired of the dating scene in your hometown, it might not be you—it might be the demographics.
