As a former donor to KDE I love nothing more than being called mere rabble.

I think he realized it too and sockpuppeted a better example. Check the comment by "Gerard"

Wtf.

E: So my german is bad, like bad bad, but I feel like it should be 'dir' and not 'dich' in this case for some reason. Is it just me? Anyway saying that all in German is pretty weird anyway. (In addition to death threats not being ok).

Je, wrong gramnar and the german feels totally off. Much too wooden amyway for a proper death threat.

Well now I’m very confused. As far as I can tell, there’s nothing particularly special about ‘töten’, and its object is accusative. So why should it be dative in this… uh, case?

[–] jaschop@awful.systems 1 points 4 days ago

You're right. The grammer is right, but it still sounds off. Like, idk, someone fully capable of english leaving threats in his second language to be sneaky?

Time to tell Yud his german sucks, and to stop threatening KDE people.

(Im making a joke out of it here, but to be clear I have no reason to think he made up the death threat, and I dont think those sort of messages are acceptable. The seemingly bad German can just be explained away by gerard thinking because kde is a project with a lot of ties to Germany everyone who is active in it understands German).
