good thing they want to be free from the fediverse, because the fediverse should definitely be free from this shit.

defederate fascists.

has he stopped “accidentally” naziing?

didn’t all 3rd party apps stop working

isn’t a low reputation indicator exactly what a troll would want?

wow what an interesting sarcastic remark about something the op never said.

what some people don’t get is that “flea market” is also a bad name. floh just makes it look and sound worse and it’s harder to parse let alone understand and therefore remember.

it’s not that it’s German (or whatever), it’s that it looks and feels like it’s gibberish. it’s incredible how little this is understood.

why do you want terrible ui

that’s not a bad idea at all. much more beginner friendly to download an app and register from there rather than having to do it externally and then coming back to the app to log in

but that’s a disgusting logo

every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go “hmm let me see if there’s something else”

ikr, why do people care? it’s not like us politics affects anyone outside the us. this is one country that notoriously doesn’t meddle in any other country’s matters one bit, and has no armed forces or even political influence outside its own borders.

that’s right
