Comparatively to the rest of the internet, it seems like there are a lot more Germans here. I’ve always assumed it was just because I was on a German instance and was in a sort of echo chamber (join feddit.org btw 🥳), but I just checked Fediverse Observer and it’s the 2nd largest country by users. Additionally, the German instances seem to be the biggest non-English ones.

Why is this?

    My pronounciation is awful, too, but that doesn’t matter on lemmy!

    And I’m still convinced that an English-language video conference with Germans is usually going to be better than with French people.

        Then they set their desk on fire and go on strike for the rest of the day.

          Considering the types of professions who usually have video conferences, that’s probably a net positive for society anyway.

            The Seamstresses’ Guild of Ankh Morpork does not look favorably upon your judgement of their recent endeavors into digitalization and working from home.
