Here is a deeper rabbit hole:
Wintermute (the author of that tweet) was the name of the admin of the original german lemmy instance "feddit.de". At some point Wintermute said they would go on vacation, I think to somewhere in asia. After that they were never heard from again and the instance decayed and we all had to move to feddit.org eventuall.
Now... what if Wintermute fell down a manhole cover??
Wintermute is the name of a character from William Gibson's Neuromancer novels, so it's fairly common. But the German angle does add a bit of spice...
If this is true, fuck you it's all I can think about right now
It actually is. You can go to feddit.de communities and check the last posts.
Its down for me
You were supposed to got to communities from there, not the site itself. The posts that were federated to other instances are still readable.
For example check here, wintermute is still listed as mod for this community
https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/schweiz@feddit.de
Or here this is the meta community for feddit.de

('tschuldigung, it was not clear!)
But yeah I see him now, and it's been over a year since his last post. That is pretty interesting. He might end up in a Lemino video
No worries, just trying to help out!
Holy shit
I imagine he’s in a Burmese prison with J. Peterman
it's myanmar
I am aware. Ive even been there. But in the show (Seinfeld) it’s a Burmese prison. Jerry even says ‘hey isn’t it Myanmar now?’ And Peterman says ‘you may know it as Myanmar, but it’ll always be Burma to me’, with the impression that he’s been there many times before. He then starts speaking the language then admits he was just making up jibberish
Myanmar is the name picked by the junta. It's Burma.
thanks, i thought i was clearly referencing the bit from the show but i guess not
The joke is he got into trouble in North Korea. My head canon goes he started some shit with the authorities in Pyongyang because of the manholes.
He's Mute during Winter
