As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

Please stop being an obnoxious ass. English is the de-facto lingua franca of the world, acting like German is in any way comparable is just disingenuous.

I love that you called it the lingua franca.

Why yes, English is the French.

Uh do you not know what "lingua franca" means or are you making a joke?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The latter. Though given the downvotes, I think people are either not smart enough to get it, or too smart and think I don't get it.

You just said what everyone thinks when they hear 'lingua franca' for the first time.
