Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace (codeberg.org)

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

Uber isn't a German word tho?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Etymology From German über (“above”, preposition), which is also used as a prefix (über-); cognate with over. Entered English through Nietzsche's use of the word Übermensch. Doublet of over, super and hyper.

Right, über is a word. "uber" is very much not. The points aren't decoration or a pronunciation guide, they signify a different letter.

It's like saying that Spanish people call their country Espana.

Are you really going to argue this? Those accent marks aren't in all languages, which is mainly why they removed them. If you want to claim this isn't from the German word then you need to explain where it came from.
