They're also heavy on Mastodon and the clone I use, Catodon.

For once, we are not the baddies
Keine ahnung.
This social media seems to be primarily eurozone folks
Well educated, tech savvy, but also socially awkward. The Venn diagram is almost a circle.
I read that in Henning Wehn's accent.
Fun facts... Henning's accent is weird even to us Germans. And almost nobody in Germany knows him.
No idea, but I love their here cus I realized I finally had a use for Gemini! Been using it to translate the memes π
I don't translate their memes, I mostly ignore them. but sometimes there's a meme that's close enough to English that I can understand it and those are hilarious
They were also prevalent on Reddit but they're more sensitive to the enshitification that some other countries like the USA and France are more accustomed to, so more Germans made the leap than Americans.
A lot of the internet is USA and Europe, and more recently India, just in general. China, Russia, and North Korea all heavily restrict their internet access and normal people in those countries probably don't use english-centric online communities anyways. I'm not sure why the adoption rate seems much lower in other places, perhaps they're still developing.
Because they're Ger-many?
Because Ger-many Carl!
Take your upvote and fuck off. >:V
Its just a scam perpetrated by Big Germany. Donβt let it scare you
We tried Big Germany once, turns out it wasn't too popular
They yearn for the German federation of the 1850s.
HRE will rise again !!!
