Guten tag Hans, we need better transmission and Schlachtschiffkanone.
I assumed it’s because the Germans have robust, well oiled shitposting pipeline infrastructure, and it was trivial to switch it from Reddit to the Threadiverse.
The real question is where are the Dutch. The Netherlands is a small nation, but one that’s made it clear they will not be outshitposted by anyone. I haven’t heard any G E K O L O N I S E E R D whispers.
Funny you mention that, because the Dutch are who I’ve been seeing in my feed. Moreso than the Germans. For me, it’s largely the Dutch and the Australians.
That’s hilarious because it’s all Germans and Canadians on mine.
Not sure if it’s related, but the EU does seem quite interested in the #fediverse. See the EU Commission’s official #Mastodon account: @EU_Commission
They have their own server too, but it isn’t open to the public.
I don’t mind so much, as it encourages me to practise my German. However, it could get troublesome if lots of other languages start popping up. Mastodon has a language filter option, I guess such a feature will eventually make its way to kbin bzw lemmy…
Me too. I haven’t really used my German in decades, but it feels good to flex that muscle again.
Same here; I used to be fluent, but lost it to disuse, it’s been nice to brush out the lingual cobwebs.
I subscribed to a few German magazines to practice the language. Now my “subscribed” feed is hijacked lol
In kbin you can easily block magazines / communities.
I know it sounds ridiculous but I would feel a bit bad for blocking a community just because I couldn’t understand the language.
bzw? Gotcha!
Yeah, I’d like a list of languages. English, Japanese, and German with possibly adding French and Spanish depending upon my mood.
Mastodon’s filter option doesn’t work all that well. I have it turned on and I still get stuff in other languages with the tags that I follow. I don’t mind it much since Mastodon has a translation feature.
It doesn’t work that well since English seems to be the default and most people don’t change that default. There should be a way to report a post as the wrong language it is claiming to be, too.
DIES IST NUN EIN DEUTSCHER BEITRAG.
Same. I actually find it hilarious. I keep whack-a-moling the block button.
Never underestimate German efficiency.

Das halte ich für ein Gerücht.
Without specific data, it’s difficult to make any definitive conclusions about efficiency or the extent of 🇩🇪 impact on your feed.
Please provide solid data, so we can further optimize.Get rid of 'em via the deadliest joke in the world… in German!
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer?
Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!Helps me practice my German. Unfortunately, I don’t know any German, so it doesn’t help me at all, actually.
