Sucks to see my home countries instance isnβt being moderated properly
Well .world is also managed partly from NL :-)
Fair point, iβll be patiently waiting for the dutch takeover ;)
You, still waiting for it:
Ik had geen idee.
Vinden wij ook hoor
Edit: we think so too
Better learn dutch now for when it becomes our instance's primary language once @ruud, @quinten and I pushed out the other admins.
Donβt tell our plansβ¦
I'm keeping my eyes on you

Mama, dieser Mann sprich aber ein lustiges deutsch :)
Ahh the dialect of East-Holland is almost a different language
Opflikkern waus.
Dat is altijd nog 'koekwaus' voor jou. π
Can't wait for GEKOLONISEERD
GEKOLONISEERD.world
Please use "I N G E P O L D E R D" as its not quite as racist as "GEKOLONISEERD".
For the people not in the know, the Dutch like to meme about the warcrimes in Indonesia and Africa and when they speak dutch in a comment section they make joking gestures to the time of colonization, like its a good thing, or something to take lightly. Quite frankly colonizing isnt funny in any shape or form and I, another dutch person feel ashamed and sorry for whoever took offense to the comment above. Not of all of us are like this.
Our history books mostly skip over the warcrimes done in indonesia and how bad the slave trade is, but its luckily improving.
For the guy above me;
Warcrimes of the Dutch in Indonesia:

How the dutch turned south africa into a racist country:

Over half a million people got ripped away from their families and traded by the Dutch in the 1800s;

This is why I think it shouldnt be taken lightly. Its like a german joking about the time their ancestors murdered millions of jews and bringing it up whenever they see another German in a comment thread.
Das tun wir tatsΓ€chlich nicht aber der Grund warum dein Fahrrad weg ist ist dass deine Mutter mir das aus Dankbarkeit geschenkt hat nachdem ich sie gefickt hab.
I remembered just enough of my school German to understand some of that but not enough to not wonder about someone's mom taking their bicycle for "thank-work", apparently π€
Translate says " actually don't but the reason your bike is gone is because your mother gave it to me out of gratitude after I fucked her."
Ah, I see that inflation is so bad in Germany that you guys have reverted to a barter economy! π
For the curious, the actual context
Not from Germany but that's a good comeback
Thanks π
Je kan het hele ijsselmeer inpolderen met die muur tekst die je hebt geschreven
Go for it. Dutch seems easy. I learned the chorus to Super Max! in like thirty minutes.
I made an account on feddit.nl to spread the load for Lemmy.world back in June. Good thing I keep switching between them both anyway.
Hopefully this is solved soon!
