It just occurred to me that my internet dialect in my IRL dialect are slightly different in a few ways. Curious to hear others dialectal differences and thoughts on the subject.

I would say so, considering I write English here and speak German the rest of the day...

Edit: Alright, I've scrolled down and I'm not the first making that joke.

I've noticed there are a lot of German speakers on Lemmy, compared to other European languages. I'm curious, it a coincidence y'all ended up here, or was there early adoption in Germany for a more organized reason?

I think this was the same with Reddit. I've met many fellow german-speaking people there.

I think after the migration to Lemmy happened, it's just statistics. But I don't know why Reddit has been popular with Germans.
