MODERATORS
 

German scientists and civil rights organizations urge universities and educational institutions to abandon centralized services such as Twitter/X, TikTok, and Facebook over health and privacy issues.

Signatories say that their web presence should be established on Mastodon and other Fediverse servers, because decentralized design is "much more compatible with the rules of democratic and sustainable cooperation."

Warum ist der Link mit einem Parameter versehen der die Sprache auf italienisch stellt? Why does the link have a parameter that sets the language to Italian?

[โ€“] onion@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

Because op is italian, which ops browser told the website, which then served op the italian version, which op copied the url of and didn't know to remove the language parameter

As @onion@feddit.de already said, I cross-posted the article from an Italian-speaking community and didn't change the link as I noticed that the petition is in English anyway. But it's perfectly right that there should be correct language setting. I changed the link now. My apologies for the irritation.

Maybe they should also make a petition to the petition website... Fediverse is not included in the sharing buttons
