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?
It’s been a while since you’ve been in a video conference with Germans speaking English, hasn’t it? /j
EDIT: line break
Gotta use two newlines with Lemmy’s markdown, else it ignores it and then your comment comes out lookin a lil goofy
But with a second newline it’s fine
Thx, in theory know I have to do that, but whenever I type an actual comment I always forget.
I write in markdown literally every day and I still have to edit my comments at least three times whenever I do anything other than a line break. It be like that lol
i edit my comments 3-5 times after posting them because i keep adding info and correcting statements and drafting what i’m thinking lol. the first reply is literally just a “save draft” button for me. like i actually have to pay attention to how recently the parent comment was written to gauge how likely it is they’ll read my reply before it’s done. i have issues
EDIT: im not editing this one
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.
Fair, the French will just curse at you in French and look angry.
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.
