       The German equivalent of The Onion, Der Postillon, made a joke article about Mastodon and I am baffled at how many people seem to think it is real 🤦‍♂️

       On the contrary @SocraticEthics, it’s a compliment to Eugen Rochko @Gargron that they deemed he & Mastodon to be important/well-known enough to feature a fake article about him.  It’s a feather in his cap to be lampooned by Der-Postillon because they wouldn’t write about an obscure person.Unlike the “Onion” or the “Babylon Bee,” Der-Postillon is unheard of in the English speaking world (majority of the world) & Germans have a stereotype for being humorless making a “German Satire” newspaper unimaginable.  Thus many of us anglicized speakers took it seriously.

       @Gargron The main question is when will it finally be renamed to Muskodon? 😂

       @Gargron Let me guess: "Elon Musk buys Mastodon"?

       @Gargron There are an astonishing number of people on the net who have no idea what "Der Postillon" actually is.These people really believe everything.

       @Gargron you know what I've always said, Eugen. Germans shouldn't do comedy
