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.
- SirNuke ( @SirNuke@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
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.

DIES IST NUN EIN DEUTSCHER BEITRAG.

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.
- TipRing ( @TipRing@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
Same here; I used to be fluent, but lost it to disuse, it’s been nice to brush out the lingual cobwebs.
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
In kbin you can easily block magazines / communities.
- wildeaboutoskar ( @wildeaboutoskar@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year ago
I know it sounds ridiculous but I would feel a bit bad for blocking a community just because I couldn’t understand the language.
- end0fline ( @end0fline@fedi196.gay ) 2•1 year ago
I kind of agree. I think it is cool to see people (hopefully) enjoying themselves in an entirely different language!
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Nothing happens to them, they just can’t bother you by filling your frontpage.
- bedrooms ( @bedrooms@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
I subscribed to a few German magazines to practice the language. Now my “subscribed” feed is hijacked lol
- tiredofsametab ( @tiredofsametab@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Yeah, I’d like a list of languages. English, Japanese, and German with possibly adding French and Spanish depending upon my mood.

bzw? Gotcha!
- asteroidrainfall ( @asteroidrainfall@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
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.

Never underestimate German efficiency.
- Tigbitties ( @Tigbitties@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
Same. I actually find it hilarious. I keep whack-a-moling the block button.

Das halte ich für ein Gerücht.
- alehel ( @alehel@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Yeah, my feed is getting a bit overwhelmed by posts where I don’t know the language. Any good solutions to this, or do I just have to block the communities they’re from as they show up?
- Hatchet ( @Hatchet@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
Helps me practice my German. Unfortunately, I don’t know any German, so it doesn’t help me at all, actually.

Get rid of 'em via the deadliest joke in the world… in German!
