Why isn't the language of this post set to "German"?
Because it's targeted at users who don't necessarily include german in their language settings.
If they don't want to see German content and you make it so that they do see German content, that's a bit rude, isn't it? If you don't want to see content from a specific user and they just create accounts to make you see their content, you'd be a little bit ticked off too, wouldn't you?
AFAIK you don't block out specific languages. Instead, unless you don't set any language filter at all, youhave to specifically include languages you want to see posts in. So there are probably a bunch of people out there who don't necessarily mind seeing a few posts in different languages but don't care enough to include other languages.
Also, chill. It's a meme, it's gonna be over very quickly anyway.
If you can’t handle the occasional word in another language slipping into your feed, then it’s time to get off the internet. People need to find some real problems so they’ll stop worrying about how good their meme filter is.
Alle anderen Fremdsprachen sind akzeptabel, nur Deutsch ist anstößig.

How dare you! I filtered your country and you force this upon me! /s
Germany has a bit of a history with that. 🤫
