Comparatively to the rest of the internet, it seems like there are a lot more Germans here. I’ve always assumed it was just because I was on a German instance and was in a sort of echo chamber (join feddit.org btw 🥳), but I just checked Fediverse Observer and it’s the 2nd largest country by users. Additionally, the German instances seem to be the biggest non-English ones.
Why is this?
AFAIK no one knows anything about what happened to the old admin (he was called wintermute). The only thing that everyone knows is, that he went to south Asia and was expecting to not have internet access at all times. If someone would have known anything furthet I’m pretty sure I would have heard about it. You can find all the instances the fediverse foundation hosts here (German): https://fediverse.foundation/instanzen/. The thing with the multiple Admins is something known by the people. I know two people who are Admins ( @ZonenRanslite@feddit.org and @BurningTurtle@feddit.org the first one was one of the people who was very invested in the creation of this instance), but I guess there are more and of course the fediverse foundation itself.
Wow thank you for sharing all this and taking the time to explain to me. This is so sad and confusing about wintermute. I hope that against the odds wintermute comes back to us one day.
I feel very happy to have found you all and I would like to support our instance in whatever way I can. Vielen Dank ❤️
