Wow. Someone recently tried to tell me this joke in person. The conversation went like this:

Them: “I’m only friends with 25 of the letters of the alphabet.”

Me: “Why’s that?”

Them: “I don’t know.”

I was completely confused by the interaction. This makes so much more sense.

This kind of seems… reasonable? Like, they have and convey a compelling legal reason for needing to do this. There’s plenty of other Lemmy instances where these opinions and statements can be freely expressed. Further, they’re explicitly allowing discourse that conveys similar sentiment but doesn’t go against German law.

I guess my question is, what’s the objection here?
