I’ve noticed a lot of German language fediverse content too. Does anyone know why German speakers are so keen on the fediverse?

German speaking Swiss here. Absolutely no idea.

I guess it’s because we don’t like US platforms.

We don’t like, that they have a monopoly on these platforms, we don’t like the idea of influencers, we don’t like cult of personality, we don’t like to loose control over our data, we don’t like English speakers as a whole, we don’t like US politics, we don’t like radical politics (even though I am a radical right, I hate everyone else who is radical right and more so the left. Actually I hate every political position), we also hate to loose our productivity for screentime and the list could go on.

We Germans are control freaks. We have always been. In the past we tried to enforce it with weapons. Now we are desperately trying to enforce our values with generosity. Running around the world and throwing money around.

We are longing for absolute control, centralised in Germany and not in some foreign third world country without healthcare (USA).

According to Kbin's Privacy Policy page many of the servers are in Germany.

I actually like the way it's written, "the Germany", and hope it doesn't get changed. :)
