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?
Simple, we germans were the biggest non-English ones on reddit, too.
Remember r/place ? Y’all were some colonizing mfers.
And we all learned that Osu players are a bunch of cheating whores.
No one fucks with the Germans on r/place
Funnily enough, AFAIK this is also reflected in the total webpages on the internet. There is an extraordinary amount of German webpages compared to other non-english ones.
EDIT: Third most used language, after English and Spanish.
