Ab Dezember 2022 freier Eintritt für Kinder unter 18 ins Deutsche Technikmuseum Berlin. Wie toll ist das denn? 💖 "Mit dem freien Eintritt unter 18 bauen wir Barrieren für den Museumsbesuch ab. Nach dem Motto ‚Einfach reinschauen. Einfach mitmachen.‘ signalisieren wir Familien, Kindern & Jugendlichen, dass sie bei uns herzlich willkommen sind“, Joachim Breuninger, Direktor.

Starting this December, kids under 18 can visit the Technikmuseum Berlin for free.

With the Twitter reinstatement of the former US President who attempted to incite a fascist coup after losing an election, now would _really_ be a good time to stop cross-posting your Twitter RTs here.

If you feel that cross-posting is the only way to maintain a presence here, please consider limiting it to original posts without mentions or RTs, to avoid cluttering timelines with Twitter URLs. Thank you kindly for your consideration.

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.

It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.

It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.

Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.

Is there a way to mute the Twitter posting bots on here? I’m here to escape all that rage. #TwitterMigration
"It's dead, that's what's wrong with it!"
Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Und vielleicht auch mal auf deutsch - ich schreibe nicht so gerne auf deutsch weil andere mich gerne korrigieren. Und das hemmt mich etwas.

Ich bin #Texter und #Übersetzer (*in) aus #Würzburg. Ursprünglich bin ich aus #Schottland. Deutsch hab ich beim VHS gelernt. Fränkisch von mein Mann. Ich liebe Frankenwein und die deutsche Küche. Ich trinke weder Bier noch Whisky.

Hi, I’m a #copywriter and #translator. Originally from #Scotland, I now also have a #German passport. I live in Germany. #Franken

If you were to hear me speak German, you’d think I was local but I only write professionally in English as German grammar is my nemesis.

I like chatting to people from all over, funny language quirks (Dandelion = dent de Leon = Löwenzahn!), #Frankenwein, #marketing, paragraphs, the #OxfordComma, and the #WestWing.

The previous renters of my daughter‘s new apartment were rather adventurous.
